Senior Resource Connection

For non-medical help and assistance there is nothing better than our Visiting Home Care services. Whether you or a loved one needs assistance with bathing, dressing or meal preparation or just need some extra help in light housekeeping, we can help seniors remain at home when health problems arise. VHC has staff on call 24 hours a day in order to address the ongoing needs of our clients. Services include bathing, shampooing, dressing, meal preparation, vacuuming, cleaning, cooking and errands. Upon enrolling in our program, a registered nurse will be scheduled to visit you and your family to develop a written individualized Plan of Care. Registered Nurses visit your home on a regular basis to evaluate staff performance and reassess your personal care needs.

Lifeline is an easy-to-use medical alert service designed to reduce the risk of living alone. In the event of a fall or emergency, help is available at the push of a button.

If emergency services are needed, they can dispatch assistance, retrieve relevant medical information from your profile, and even let emergency personnel know if you have a pet, all while you're on the line. There is no equipment to buy and no contract to sign.

Many of our senior clients depend on their furry friends for love and companionship, but are unable to financially support the needs of a pet. Our newest program helps alleviate that burden by supplying dog and cat food on a monthly basis. Pet ownership has been scientifically proven to reduce blood pressure, improve overall health and give seniors a reason to exercise. Now in it's third year, this program relies entirely on corporate support, foundation grants and private donations from individuals. Meals on Wheels America has provided grants annually since it's inception and Day Air Credit Union joined the effort in 2021.
