All services are completely confidential, some may be fee-based, and
donations are always accepted. If you or someone you care for needs services, call our HEALTHY
AGING ALLIANCE to assist you in finding solutions to problems, concerns, or confusions. In practice for over 25 years,
we have the experience and knowledge of all local and other assistance. Our
staff is managed by licensed social workers.Our
Healthy Aging Alliance is beginning a
new caregiver
initiative. By visiting caregivers in their own home, we
can help address caregiver needs by looking at the whole picture and
assessing what parts of the burden might be diverted. We can suggest
resources to assist the caregiver and be an advocate for services or help
you are entitled to. And all of this can happen at the caregiver’s home.
We also have Sunshine volunteers
who visit and call homebound or those in nursing homes or ill, bereaved, or hospitalized members and others.
