Misler Adult Day Center is able to provide critically needed transportation to many of our participants using the JCA ElderBus fleet. Each day, trained drivers who are sensitive to the needs of older adults are out in neighborhoods surrounding the Center, providing roundtrip door-to-door service to those who live within our pick up area. Our fleet of accessible buses can accommodate wheelchairs and walkers.
