Senior Resource Connection
Aging with dignity in the place you call home
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Many of our community's elderly citizens are faced with entering a nursing home due to health issues when they would really like to remain in their home. Not only is this oftentimes more appropriate for the client, but also much less expensive.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Meals on Wheels
Our Wheels on Wheels program delivers hot or frozen, nutritionally balanced meals on a daily basis to eligible elderly and disabled adults. More than a meal, our trained drivers provide a friendly and daily personal contact that improves our client’s and their family’s sense of well-being. We also offer congregate dining opportunities where seniors can socialize with others while enjoying a meal. Funding sources include Area Agency on Aging, Title III of the Older Americans Act, and United Way.
Visiting Home Care
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.
Philips Lifeline
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. The Lifeline Personal Help Button connects you to a highly trained Personal Response Associate who can access your situation and send help quickly - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 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.
Community Geriatric Assessment Nurse
This service provides Montgomery Co. residents age 60 and older an opportunity for a comprehensive health care assessment and referrals to pertinent other healthcare professionals. Face to face assessments are completed by experienced Registered Nurses from the Visiting Home Care staff. Fees for this service are provided by funding from the Montgomery County Human Service Levy. For more information, please call 223-8246 ext. 241.
Care Coordination/Caregiver Support
Senior Resource Connection is proud to partner with the Area Agency on Aging PSA2 to provide Care Coordination and Caregiver Support services. To qualify for these programs you must be 60 years old or older and a Montgomery County resident. Clients will receive services based upon an individualized care plan that is mutually developed between the client, their caregiver and the care manager responsible for the coordination of designated services. The care manager, who is a registered nurse, reviews all information and completes a comprehensive in home assessment using considerations such as income, disabilities, functional level, and caregiver availability. Services can include Meals on Wheels, Philips Lifeline medical alert system, home health aide, and chore services which include hand rail installations and large cleanup projects.
Case Management/Guardianship
These protective services allow for in-home intervention by professional case managers, who assist individuals age 60 years and older in establishing a network of services that promote continued independent living. The program is funded by the Area Agency on Aging PSA2 under Title III of the Older Americans Act. The service is for residents of Montgomery County, Ohio only.
Representative Payee Program
Montgomery County, Ohio residents age 60 and older with a mental health diagnosis are eligible for an independent party to address the handling of their ongoing financial affairs. The program is certified by the Social Security Administration as an authorized representative payee program. All staff has completed authorized criminal background checks. All client monies are maintained in protected accounts at a local FDIC Banking Institution and the program is insured. The payee program works in conjunction with The Adult Protective Service Program and is funded by Title XX. There are no fees to the client associated with this program.
Congregate Dining
As part of our nutrition program, this service, offered in Montgomery, Greene, Miami and Darke counties, affords individuals age 60 and older the opportunity to have a hot, nutritional lunch Monday through Friday while enjoying the company of their peers. Family style meals are offered at multiple locations served piping hot from steam tables. Diners may also choose from a limited menu at participating restaurants primarily in rural areas. While there is a suggested donation of $2, meals are free to the consumer. The program is entirely funded by Area Agency on Aging PSA2 with Title III funding under the Older American's Act.
Senior's Best Friend
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.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Senior Resource Connection provides services which enable our elderly clients to continue living in their own home through bouts of illness and the overall aging process. Our ultimate goal is to provide a variety of services that promote healthy aging and helps prevent accidents and illnesses.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our home-based services focus on keeping our elderly clients safe and comfortable living in their own home. These include a geriatric nurse assessment, home delivered meals, emergency response systems, medication dispensers, case management, financial payee assistance, caregiver support, care coordination, and home health aides that also help with house cleaning & shopping. While these services are very beneficial to the individual, the community also benefits. Many inner city homes are occupied by the elderly. When a homeowner enters a facility, the home is sometimes abandoned due to lack of value, repairs, marketability, or friends/family that are willing to discard the contents and sell the property. Our services help the elderly continue to occupy their home leaving one less vacant property in the community.
