Private Transport

A Comfortable and Accessible Way to Travel

At Almond Valley, we understand how important it is for our residents to stay connected with the world beyond our home. That’s why we’re proud to offer private transport as part of daily life here. Our fully accessible minibus has been carefully chosen to ensure a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience whenever we head out. Whether it’s for a scenic countryside drive, a trip into town, or a visit to a local attraction, having our own transport gives us the flexibility to plan meaningful outings around the needs and interests of our residents.

Regular outings bring a sense of variety and independence that many of our residents truly value. It’s not just about where we go, but how it makes people feel – a change of scenery, the simple joy of fresh air, and the comfort of knowing that trusted staff are close by. Our private minibus helps us create these moments, all while offering peace of mind to families.

Fully Equipped for Safe, Enjoyable Outings

The minibus is designed with comfort, accessibility and dignity in mind. It’s spacious, easy to board, and fully wheelchair accessible, making it suitable for all residents regardless of mobility. Our trained care staff accompany every outing to offer support, companionship and reassurance, ensuring each journey runs smoothly from start to finish.

We plan our trips carefully and in response to residents’ preferences – whether it’s a quiet visit to a favourite garden centre, a fish and chip lunch by the sea, or joining in with a local community event. Outings are tailored to be relaxed and enjoyable, always taken at the right pace for those coming along.

Keeping Life Varied, Social and Connected

Having our own transport opens up so many opportunities to keep life sociable, interesting and active. It means we’re not limited to what’s on site – we can explore new places, return to familiar favourites, and take part in the wider community. This can be especially important for new residents settling in, as it helps maintain a sense of normality and independence.

We often find that the smallest trips spark the biggest smiles – whether it’s browsing the local shops, enjoying a quiet walk in a country park, or simply watching the world go by from the window seat. With our minibus, these simple pleasures become part of everyday life at Almond Valley.
