LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – March 2020 marks a milestone for Community Care’s Senior Information & Assistance Program.
In 2006 the program expanded its service area to include older adults in all of Mendocino and Lake counties.
Each year it has responded to the questions of an average of 384 individuals, and approximately 293 of those annual inquirers have been first-time callers.
Now in its 14th year of speaking with older adults and their loved ones from Point Arena to Clearlake Oaks, Senior Information & Assistance is pleased to report that it has served over 4,000 unique individuals.
Funded through the Area Agency on Aging of Lake & Mendocino Counties, and with the longtime support of the T.R. Eriksen Foundation, Senior Information & Assistance not only offers referrals to callers about available programs and services for older adults, it also checks back with them to see if they were able to make a connection to those supports.
This followup component is one of the things that brings callers back to Community Care months and years later as new needs and questions arise.
To learn more about area resources for adults ages 60 and older, contact Senior Information & Assistance Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by calling 707-468-5132 or 1-800-510-2020, or visit www.SeniorResourceDirectory.org .
