The Solution
Solutions for
Steuben County Senior Citizens
The solution is
simple: provide an alternative, more appropriate, and more cost-efficient
way to meet many of the basic health-related
needs of seniors.
|
The mission of SSSF is to
build a $6.5 million private endowment fund which
will supplement government funding for delivery of
in home health services
for senior citizens in the future. |
A large percentage of older people can manage quite well with in home care services such
as those coordinated through the Steuben County Office for the Aging. These
may include:
·
Home-delivered Meals
·
Assistance with Activities of Daily Living
·
Personal Care
·
Shopping/Errands
·
Transportation
·
Lifeline
·
Respite for Caregivers
·
Other services which may evolve in response to
community need
Senior
Independent Living
Most seniors
want to age in place. They want to maintain their dignity and independence.
The Steuben Senior Services Fund can help them do that by building resources
to help assure the availability of in-home services in years to come.
