Providing in-home services is critical for older adults to maintain independence living in the community. Our care management staff oversees in-home services such as personal care assistance, homemaker services (tasks that can be troublesome for an older adult living alone) and respite care for family caregivers. During the year ended december 31, 2024, our care managers provided assistance to 455 clients.

Tops (transportation options program for seniors) provided more than 3,100 roundtrip rides in 2024 to take older adults to medical appointments, pharmacies, and the grocery store, including unlimited rides for those seniors with chronic illnesses. The program reduces the burden on family members and provides older adults with more control, independence, and access to the medical care and essential items they need.

The meals on wheels (mow) program delivers nutritious mid-day meals to older adults at home who are unable to afford or prepare meals for themselves. Our volunteers are often the only visitors a homebound older adult has on a given day, and they are trained to alert senior services if medical emergencies arise at the time of the delivery visit. Nonperishable nutritious meals are also provided for seniors to have on hand during periods of inclement weather and emergencies. During the year 2024, our team of dedicated volunteers delivered more than 28,000 meals on wheels to seniors.
