Outreach and Information & Referral:

The Outreach Program offers the senior community the services of an Outreach Social Worker who meets and/or visits with individuals on a confidential basis in order to assess their needs. Issues regarding transportation, home health care, Meals on Wheels, nursing home and adult day care are just some of the many areas in which information and assistance are available.  One of the most essential services that we offer is that of information and referral.  Many families of elders often find themselves in need of certain types of assistance that we may not be able to directly provide.  It is in these cases that we must be able to refer them to the proper individuals or agencies that can best solve their problems in a timely and efficient manner.
