Enjoying an active lifestyle is important for a healthy life as a senior, an aspect Evesham Township values.
To keep seniors active, Evesham Township provides numerous services, including busing throughout the township to events, doctors’ appointments and senior gatherings at the Gibson House Community Center.
This year, the Evesham Township Department of Senior Services received a new bus to assist in transportation.
“The addition to the Department of Senior Services is incredibly valuable,” Monica Vandenberg said, Director of Senior Services. “We strive to provide the best transportation service to our senior citizens. We’re glad to have the new bus.”
Evesham Township seniors have the opportunity to utilize free transportation services. The driver will pick residents up (curbside) at their home, take them to their appointment and return them to their homes.
“Our services provide seniors a sense of freedom they may have lost when they stopped driving,” Vandenberg said. “We take them food shopping, to the doctors, Wal-Mart and hair salons.”
Seniors are encouraged to call (856) 988–9866 to make an appointment. Leave a detailed message including name, address, date, time and address of the appointment one week ahead of the scheduled appointment date.
Please note the earliest appointments that should be made are 8:30 a.m. and the latest 2:30 p.m.
For additional information about the senior transportation program, call (856) 985–9792.
