Supporting seniors, caregivers & families
Find AssistanceOur goal is to offer services that make it possible for Central Oregon seniors to “age in place” in their homes and communities.
We’re a trusted resource who older adults and their families can come to in order to find help and answers to their questions about aging.
Your support delivers a meal to someone who can no longer cook, forges life-affirming connections with our isolated neighbors, and so much more.
