| Our Services
For information on receiving services call 356 - 5111.
Meals on Wheels
Home-delivered meals are delivered to individuals who are
60 or older, homebound, and/or unable to prepare a meal or
transport themselves to a meal site. This service is dependent
on volunteers who deliver the meals to homes during lunch
hours on weekdays. Our Meals on Wheels Sites are located in
our seven Senior Centers.
Home Care
Home Care assistance with personal care, activities of daily
living for the frail, homebound elderly.
Legal Aid
Legal Aid is available to Seniors for non-criminal legal services
such as living wills, powers of attorney, trusts and some
estate matters.
Medical Escort
Transportation is available for Seniors to and from medical
appoint-ments. This service works on an appointment basis.
Medi-Loan Closet
The medi-loan closet allows Seniors to use our available medical
equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, etc.) at no charge. This
service is reliant upon equipment donations. We appreciate
all donations.
Nutrition Sites
Daily weekday congregate meals are offered at our seven nutrition
sites located in our Senior Centers. The meals are available
to those 60 years and older. Transportation is available to
the sites for those individuals that qualify. Call (803) 356-5111
for more information on transportation.
Volunteer Services
Volunteers are needed to support many of the programs and
services that we offer. Meals on Wheels, special events, Christmas
in Lexington County (a one day blitz to fix up homes of the
elderly), handyman services, the annual Meals March Fundraiser
(benefits the Meals on Wheels Program) and Senior Center Programs
all need the time and energy of those who are willing to lend
a helping hand. For more information about volunteering call
356-5111 and ask for Cherlyn Porter.
