Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Light near the van after dark
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
