Do You Know a Senior Who Needs Help? Senior Reach Can Help

What is Senior Reach?

Senior Reach provides free support for the well-being, independence and dignity of older adults through community education, mental health services, and connection to community resources.

· It’s a community program that identifies older adults who may need emotional or physical support and/or connection to community services.

· It’s a simple way to help older adults get assistance before a serious crisis develops.

· It’s a strong partnership between agencies, businesses, and community minded individuals like you.

How Does Senior Reach Work?

The Senior Reach relies on community members - friends, family, neighbors - to help identify older adults who may need help. Community members can contact our call center to discuss their concerns and make a referral. A Senior Reach Specialist will talk with the senior to determine need and willingness for intervention. If the older adult agrees, Senior Reach will help connect them with appropriate services.
