Senior Centers

Social isolation and loneliness are major health factor impacting seniors.  We operate five senior centers in the counties we serve.  These centers are a hub for activities helping seniors stay active and involved in their community.  Whatever the interest, Health & Fitness, Computer Skills, Arts & Crafts, Nutrition Education, Entertainment, or Travel, our senior centers have the programs. Two thousand, eight hundred  seniors visit our centers every year.

Meals

Having a nutritious meal in a social setting is an important part of a senior’s day. Our senior centers serve meals and ask only a small contribution to the cost from those who can afford it.

Many seniors can’t get out to shop or prepare their own meals.  Our Meals-On- Wheels program delivers meals to homebound seniors. Each week our volunteers deliver 1,461 meals in the counties we serve. In some cases, our volunteer is the only physical contact the senior has with the outside world.

Senior Care

The primary goal of the Senior Care Program is to provide services that will support aging in place, keeping seniors living in their own home, and at a lower cost than a long-term care facility.

Services vary according to need, but may include personal care, light housekeeping chores, and emergency response systems, such as case management services.
