I agree, good article but what are those services? It would be nice to know if volunteers are welcome and who the contact person would be to find out.

They should have a listing of free services, if any are free.
Many people do not know. But as I said before, done been there and done that, and there was a fee for everything for us. It may be free to some, who knows ?
I guess the people working there would know but if they advertise they will have to do some work. Please let people know what services you provide.
People would like to know.

The article was nice, but gave no information on the types of services provided or how a senior could contact them.

Work towards getting some of the young people who are able to work out and working. Help our seniors and let the young work just as the older people have done all their lives. Too many people think the system owes them something.
If you want things you must work. I guess you can just lay around all day if you are on welfare. GET A JOB.
HELP OUR OLDER CITIZENS, they have earned it. All you young people on welfare , shame on you, get a job, taxpayers r tired of U. Mexicans go home or work.

I had to deal with senior services and they did help but it was not free, there was a charge even for meals on wheels. Most older people can not even afford to buy their own meds so how do you think they could pay for services ? If you dare say I am wrong, it is free, wrong, I have been there already with a 76 year old and I know first hand about the fees, I wrote them checks for services. How does that help our seniors? They can not afford more bills. Cut welfare benefits, make them work.

Yes, most of the elderly are to proud to ask for services because once they start with the services, they feel they are giving up their ability to do for themselves! It must be remembered that those in their 70's remember the Great Depression. I am dealing with a mother in her late 70's and she is so full of pride! Best Wishes to those entering and those leaving these positions!
