Walks are measured on the map from each place to stay to the center's address (straight line plus a quarter, at about 3 miles an hour). Where the walk is over 20 minutes we show a driving estimate (straight line plus a third, at an in-town average speed, plus 2 minutes to park): traffic changes it, so check the route at your shift time.
Guest chairs are limited: ask your home unit's social worker or travel coordinator to request one, often 6 to 8 weeks ahead and earlier around holidays.
Confirm the days and the shift time with the center, then book a room that fits it.
