Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Lewis County's older adult population of 60+ individuals is over 4000. Now more than ever due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, more seniors are living in isolation and going hungry. This has led to declining physical health and depression among our most vulnerable population. The Senior Center has remained vigilant in targeting seniors aged 60+ for inhome personal care services, wellness checks, and home-delivered meals. The Senior Center continues to provide services for individuals with disabilities aged 18 and older.

Charting impact

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

Our organizational goals include the following:
1. Empowering our citizens with information and choices.
2. Supporting family caregivers.
3. Protecting the interests and rights of vulnerable adults.
4. Promoting healthy aging and the active engagement of seniors.
5. Helping ready our communities and younger generations for aging.
6. Assuring good stewardship of resources and the public's trust.

Senior Center management and staff continually assess the environment for changing needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities. Staff are diligent in maximizing monies received for the care of our elderly and disabled populations. Participants are treated professionally - with dignity and respect.

The Director holds a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. She has been involved in Senior Programs since 1980. The Assistant Director holds a Master's Degree in Strategic Leadership and a degree in Business Management/Accounting. She has also been involved with Senior Programs since 1980. The Center also employs 2 R.N.'s, and 2 licensed social worker's. One has a Master's Degree and the other social worker recently completed her Gerontology Certificate. Staff is forward-thinking in seeking additional trainings/workshops that will provide knowledge and/or skillsets to benefit the people we serve.

We are proud to have been the first Nationally Accredited Senior Center in the State of West Virginia. Through the years, we have won several awards for our transportation program related to ridership, customer satisfaction, and public relations efforts.
