Transportation: Every once in a while seniors need a little assistance getting to medical appointments, social or cultural events, worship services, hairdresser or barbers, grocery stores and running errands. There are organizations in our community to assist seniors with these needs. Many seniors need assistance with errands such as grocery shopping, clothing and gift shopping, or picking up prescriptions.
Social Programs: Staying active in retirement is easy. With the senior social programs, there is always something fun and exciting going on in the area. Help host an outing or just attend. Active seniors will have the opportunity to attend outings such as going to lunch, attending fitness classes, cultural events, and entertainment or going to shopping destinations. There’s no one-size-fits all, there are a variety of activities available. Once a week, once a month, first Tuesday of the month whichever the case may be, we love social and like-minded gatherings. From a men’s breakfast group, to lunch bunches, book clubs, coffee groups, happy hours and small group studies there is an opportunity for everyone. Making new friends and escaping the isolation from home is always a treat.
Convenience Task & Handyman Services: Assistance with light yard work, minor household organization and cleaning, pet care, plant care, minor household chores such as hard to reach light bulbs, hang pictures, check smoke alarms, moving outdoor furniture, and simple repairs. Neighbors helping neighbors at home. For home repairs that require a little more work or a skilled tradesman, Care N’ Community can refer seniors to organizations that have pre-screened vendors.
