We have been serving seniors in Henderson County for 55 years.
Our services include:
- Meals on Wheels for Henderson County
- In 2023 we served over 76,000 meals to 555 homebound seniors.
- More than a meal, this service also provides a general wellness check for at-risk seniors when volunteers deliver meals, as well as combating social isolation to individuals that typically have very limited interaction.
- Due to funding restraints, this program does currently have a waitlist of over 100 seniors, with an average wait of 5 months before receiving service.
- Congregate Dining Program
- In 2023 we served over 7,000 meals to active seniors in Henderson County.
- This program, like Meals on Wheels, goes beyond providing basic nutrition, helping to ensure seniors are continuing to socialize and create community.
- Our congregate dining clients have direct access to community resources, including a Support Services staff member being on site once per week and speakers that present on various topics related to aging.
- Liquid Nutrition Program
- In 2023 we provided nearly 900 cases of liquid nutrition to nutritionally-at risk seniors in Henderson County.
- Caregiver Respite
- In 2023 we provided more than 60 caregivers with funds to help alleviate the cost of adult-day services or professional in-home caregivers to allow a family caregiver a much-needed break.
- Resource Coordination
- Our knowledgeable staff provide information and referral services to hundreds of senior adults and their caregivers in Henderson County each year.
We do all of this to attain our vision:Â No One Ages Alone.Â
We are grateful to be supported by a dedicated volunteer base of over 250 individuals.
