This information & referral service gives seniors and caregivers a place to turn when they have questions or need help for themselves or a loved one. It is staffed by compassionate and knowledgeable resource specialists who can help people find the services and supports they need—whether that’s a program offered directly by the AAA 1-B or a program offered by another local organization. Help with referrals for housing, transportation support groups, food resources, care programs, long-term care, and government benefits.

Community Living Program

This program brings 4-10 hours of care into the home each week to help with activities of daily living. Available to people 60 and over. No specific financial requirements, but priority is given to those with more financial and support needs.

 

Meals on Wheels/Community Dining Programs:
