Our programs are developed in response to the needs of Seniors in Kosciusko County. We provide services to people age 60 and older, and are also a Medicaid Waiver provider. These needs are identified through personal contacts, numerous surveys by several other County Social Service and governmental agencies, physicians, and family members. United Way of Kosciusko County, the City of Warsaw, and our County Council are interested in improving and enlarging options for Seniors and their families. It is our purpose and our goal to develop services and alternatives to improve the life circumstances of our Seniors.
Our four major programs are Mobile Meals, Handicapped Van Transportation, In-Home Services, and a Senior Activity Center. All of these programs have been in operation for well over twenty years. Surveys and personal contacts prove that these are the most critical and important services required to meet the various needs of Seniors in Kosciusko County.
We provide over 35,000 mobile meals each year. We also provide emergency frozen meals for clients when weather does not allow for daily delivery. In addition, we provide some weekend meals for those clients who otherwise would not have one available. Our van transportation provides over 14,000 rides each year. Our priorities are medical, nutrition, and other professional personal services. We provide individual assistance to seniors using this service.We also provide in-home cleaning services with approval from our Area Service Center. Finally, our Senior Activity Center - SAC operates five days a week and provides a wide range of informational, educational, and recreational activities. All of the services meet our central criteria of providing services to seniors so they may remain in their home and not be placed in a health or medical facility.
