Senior Services
The Senior Services provides seniors with options and resources to help them remain in the community and avoid falls, hospitalizations and nursing home placement.
Who We Serve
Senior Services program is based on income. The elder participant must be over 65 years of age, accept personal care and be house-bound. We serve Barrington, Bristol, Warren, East Providence, Pawtucket and Central Falls. The program coordinates a wide range of services including social service case management, home health aide services, adult day services, Meals on Wheels, Senior Companion services, personal emergency alert systems, minor home modifications, assistive devices, or assisted living case management services.
