OUR SERVICESFor people of all ages, independence promotes a positive self image and improves quality of life. Foresight, smart strategies and community support can help you to live independently in your own home safely and for as long as possible.
Home Assessment
• Arrange for a professional to assess your home for “elder-friendliness.” Safe and easy-to-use furniture, lighting, electric appliances, locks, bathroom facilities, ventilation, flooring, windows, etc. . . make a home elder friendly.
Medical Well-Being
• Keep a list of all your medications, insurance, doctors, family members and friends to call in case of an emergency. Post it on your refrigerator and by your main phone. Carry a copy as well.
• Monitor your health at home through nonprofit services like homemaking, personal care, home healthcare and telehealth technology.
• Set up transportation with Access-a-Ride or another bus service.
Nutrition
• Consider CityMeals-on-Wheels or other programs that deliver well-balanced meals to your home.
• Ask for groceries to be delivered regularly by local grocery stores or services like Fresh Direct.
Networking
• Join a program that matches seniors with caring volunteers or “adopted grandchildren,” who will make calls or visit regularly.
• Visit a senior center, where you can make new friends or take a class.
• Contact 311 if you have questions about money management, government benefits and/or financial and legal planning.
Helping you stay well and safe at home is our priority.
