Senior living transportation scheduling with seat limits and check-in at the door

Post outings and appointment rides with seats, pickup and drop-off, let residents reserve and reschedule, and check riders in with a code so nobody is left at the curb.

Quick answer

ResiConnect lets senior living teams post scheduled rides and outings with a driver, pickup and drop-off, seat capacity and notes such as wheelchair access, and residents reserve a seat from their portal. Seats remaining update as people book, riders check in with a code, and rides can be linked to the events they serve.

The problem

The bus sign-up sheet is taped to the wall, the appointment list is in the driver's notebook, and the front desk fields the same question all day: is there room on Thursday's shopping trip?

Overbooked outings, residents who miss a ride they thought they had, and no record of who actually rode make transportation one of the most stressful services to run.

What you get

Scheduled rides and outings

Create a ride with date and time, pickup and drop-off, driver and notes, such as wheelchair accessible or returns by 3 PM.

Seat limits

Set the capacity and residents see seats remaining as others book, so a full bus shows as full.

Linked to events

Attach a ride to an outing on the activity calendar so residents can book both together.

Who can see the ride

Choose which care levels a ride is offered to, such as independent or assisted living.

Reserve and reschedule

Residents book from the portal calendar, see their upcoming rides and reschedule or cancel. Staff can also book a seat for a resident from the resident's record.

Check-in code

Each rider has a check-in code, and the driver confirms who boarded.

Feedback after the ride

A short rating after each trip tells you how the service is landing.

How it works

  1. Post the week's rides with seats, times and stops.
  2. Residents reserve a seat from the portal.
  3. Check riders in at the door with their code.
  4. Read ride feedback and adjust schedules where seats run out.

Part of one platform

Transportation and ride booking is one part of ResiConnect. The same residents, calendar and staff logins run every other part, so nothing is retyped between tools. ResiConnect also shares its resident record with ResiOnboarding, which handles move-in from deposit through day 90.
