Ava is a local senior who was living on her own. Mobility issues made it difficult for Ava to cook and get groceries, so she was eating mostly cereal every single day. She rarely left her house and felt isolated and alone.
A concerned neighbor told Ava about LIFE ElderCare’s Meals on Wheels program and she signed up to receive a nourishing meal every day – delivered with a smile by one of our dedicated volunteers. After learning about our other services, Ava now has access to on-demand transportation to get to medical appointments and the store, and has a weekly visitor who visits and spends time with her. As part of our Fall Prevention Program, nursing students have also taught Ava how to improve her balance.
Because of the continued support of people like you, Ava is now stronger, well-fed, and much more connected to her community – nourished in body, mind & spirit. Your generous donations enable LIFE ElderCare to connect with and care for the most vulnerable seniors in our community – thank you for helping our seniors thrive!
