The OPC also has a number of programs and services designed to help seniors “age in place” so they do not have to move out of their homes. OPC operates a door-to-door transportation program, (52,000+ rides in 2013) to help seniors complete their daily activities. A full “Meals on Wheels” program with home delivered and site meals (over 120,000 meals provided in 2013) for disabled or homebound seniors, and senior resources for those with special needs, like our Adult Day Services program, and much more. All of the services offered by the OPC are designed to help seniors age in place, stay connected to the community around them, and maintain their independence.
