In today's growing assisted living society, finding the right bus for sale can feel like a daunting task. Which kind of bus do we need? What size of bus do we need? Do we need a gas engine or diesel? How many passengers do we need to accommodate? The list of questions can go on and on. Having served the assisted living and adult day care industries for multiple decades, Carpenter Bus Sales has become the most trusted source for buses in country. To find the right bus for your facility, you will need to determine a few things. Firstly, what is the largest number of residents will you be transporting at any one time? Will any of those residents be in a wheel chair? How long will the trips you are taking be? Are the majority of your outings going to be local in nature? Far and away, the most popular bus purchased by assisted living and adult day care facilities is the 15 passenger bus with a wheel chair lift. This bus actually has twelve standard seats, a driver's seat and two wheel chair stations. This bus is made by Starcraft and is known as the Allstar Para-Transit 13+2WS. You can see the seating configuration on our Starcraft Allstar Para-Transit page. This bus comes standard with a 32" wide double leaf entrance door with both right hand and left hand grab entrance rails which makes getting on and off the bus much easier. The bus also sports a low 11" first step which is very helpful for the assisted living and adult day care residents. Finding the right bus for sale doesn't have to be difficult.
