What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

We believe we are the "best kept secret" in town. The Board of Directors is tackling our anonymity problem by planning a "rebranding" activity in conjunction with Older American Month - May 2018. We want to make seniors as well as the general public aware of who we are and what we have to offer to the community. Our goal is to showcase the services we provide and show the areas where we need financial assistance to expand our vision of seniors remaining in community with independence and dignity.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our vision is of a community where everyone, regardless of their age, health or financial circumstances, will have access to available supports and services so they can live in the setting of their choice.

We provide advocacy and services that will help seniors and persons with adult onset disabilities, and their caregivers, live with independence, dignity and protection from harm, such as meals, transportation, caregiver support, utility assistance, homemaker, sitter and other home and community based services.

We have and solicit funding from varied funding sources - federal and state government, United Way, individuals. We coordinate with other aging and disability agencies to garner maximum resources.

The Board committee is set, assignments have been made and venues have been chosen. Since we are "not-for-profit" we are seeking pro-bono assistance in the area of advertising and communications.
