Social and Protective Services

Supporting seniors' independence and protecting their dignity

Meals on Wheels employs licensed social workers who provide a variety of social and protective services that respond to seniors' safety and well-being. We work with families, caregivers and care managers to ensure seniors are safe and their basic needs are met.

Personal Financial Management

Seniors are especially vulnerable to scammers. We help them manage and protect their money so they can live independently and without major financial setbacks. We support seniors further by providing independent living assistance that alleviates challenges with essential tasks like responding to mail and scheduling appointments.

Senior Care Coordination

This special self-pay program provides assistance to seniors to help them solve everyday challenges. This can include finances, housing and coordinating services to support personal care needs, legal issues and medical issues.

Guardianship

When seniors reach a point where making decisions for themselves is too difficult (whether it’s due to illness or when incapacity endangers their health or safety) the court can appoint us to step in and become their guardian to make decisions on their behalf.
