Description

Council on Aging for Henderson County provides and coordinates services that connect, engage and support adults in our community as we age.

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: No One Ages Alone. 

We are grateful to be supported by a dedicated volunteer base of over 250 individuals.

We also operate two thrift stores that benefit our programs.
