Transportation in our Golden Valley home

Transportation covers rides to medical appointments, shopping, and community activities — provided by Bond, so residents don't have to arrange their own way there. It's part of Minnesota's Customized Living program for adults 55+, with staff coordinating rides around each resident's schedule.

What’s included

What transportation covers

Medical & dental appointments

Rides there and back, coordinated by staff around each appointment — no ride-arranging falling to family.

Community outings

Trips out for events, errands, and activities — staying part of the community, not watching it from a window.

Shopping trips

Regular trips for groceries and personal needs, with staff support from door to store and back again.

Scheduled activities

Transport to planned events, programs, and family occasions — built into each resident's weekly routine.

Door-to-door support

A steady hand in and out of the vehicle at both ends — the ride includes getting there safely, not just driving.

Appointment coordination

Staff work directly with medical offices on timing, so trips line up with appointments — not the other way around.
