$5,000 goal

Consider making a recurring gift of $60 a month.  This gift will help a senior stay in their home. All services are provided on a Sliding fee scale and nobody is turned away based on inability to pay.  

We help seniors stay in their homes and live independently for as long as possible. Most older adults want to stay in their homes, but some are faced with challenges. We provide a variety of non-medical services to help older adults remain living safely and independently. 

Please donate and help an older adult continue living at home.  YOUR Donation help us ensure that the seniors in our community, who are often the foundation of many families, can live independently and with dignity.  

$60.00 can assist with the following programs we provide.  

Neighbors Helping Neighbors chore and support services help older adults and persons with disabilities with chores, transportation, handyman services, Yard and seasonal care and other daily activities so they can remain living independently in their homes.

Meals on Wheels provides home delivered, dietetically correct, hot, nutritious meals and a friendly visit. 

Social Cafe: Social isolation is a significant concern among older and elder adults. Social Cafe provides a solution by offering communal meal. Beyond the nutritional benefits, these gatherings encourage social engagement, fostering connections and relationships that contribute to emotional well-being.

Home Safety Checks:   The Olmsted County Falls Prevention Coalition and FSR offers a complete home safety visit to assess fall risks in the home. We assess the living environment for potential hazards, such as uneven flooring, poor lighting, or obstacles that could lead to falls. By addressing these concerns, home safety checks contribute to reducing the risk of accidents and injuries, allowing seniors to live confidently and securely in their homes.

Caregiver Support and Respite Services:  Caregiver Support Services provide individualized coaching and counseling to help caregivers develop caregiving skills, connect with resources, and maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Older Adult Mental Health Counseling:

The mental health of older and elder adults is critical to their overall well-being. Counseling services tailored to older and elder adults address the unique challenges they may face, such as adjusting to life changes, managing loss, and coping with isolation. These services empower older and elder adults to maintain good mental health and enjoy a positive outlook on life.
