Senior Solutions - Council on Aging for Southeastern Vermont
Senior Solutions, the Council on Aging for Southeastern Vermont is one of
five private, nonprofit area agencies on aging in Vermont. We serve 46
towns throughout Orange, Windsor, Windham and Bennington counties.
Under the Older Americans Act, Senior Solutions is charged with helping to
plan and coordinate a comprehensive system of services and supports for
older adults (age 60 and over) and family caregivers. We do this with
community partners such as local senior centers, meal sites, state
agencies such as the Agency of Human Services, first responder services,
local hospitals, local food shelves, and others.
We have 36 employees and over 70 volunteers. Our primary service
programs are our HelpLine call center, our long-term care and self-neglect
case management programs, our State Health Insurance program, our
nutrition programs including financial support for local meal sites, our
wellness programs, financial support for local transportation services,
family caregiver supports, mental health support and our robust volunteer
programs. We also serve as advocates for older adults across
Southeastern Vermont by partnering with Legal Aid, Adult Protective
Services, and keeping our legislators informed on local and statewide
issues affecting older Vermonters.
At Senior Solutions we strive for a standard of service across all our
programs that includes humor, grace, outstanding knowledge, and
reliability. We are staff and volunteers who go above and beyond to assist,
support, coordinate, and advocate, and to develop and support innovative
programs that enable older Vermonters to age with dignity in the place of
their choice, with the support they need and the opportunity for meaningful
relationships and active engagement in their community.
