I’ve been working with Umbrella for various reasons through hip.
I
just found out that they also offer Uber rides for seniors Monday thru
Friday. How this works is if a person needs a ride, they would call
Umbrella at (973) 200-9494 and give the information on the ride
needed.
The price is just what Uber would charge plus another $3 from
Umbrella.
They do not offer this during the weekends due to Umbrella being closed and
in
case a ride is cancelled or needs to be canceled. One can call ahead
of
time to Umbrella to secure a ride.<o:p></o:p></DIV>
