Our four elder care programs help adults, age 60 and over, living in Fremont, Newark and Union City, California, maintain their independence as they age. With the help of over 500 community volunteers, we offer personalized, low to no-cost solutions that address the issues of hunger, loneliness, lack of transportation and increased risk of falls.
Meals On Wheels
- 510-574-2092
We deliver a hot, well-balanced, mid-day meal Monday through Friday and a frozen meal for Saturday and Sunday. To receive meals a person must be unable to shop for or prepare meals on their own. Eligibility is based on need, not income.
VIP Rides – 510-574-2096
VIP Rides links seniors and disabled individuals with a volunteer to accompany/assist while traveling to appointments, grocery shopping or errands. Seniors and non-seniors with disabilities, who have no family members or friends to help them, are eligible for this program.
Fall Prevention – 510-574-2088
Our multifaceted approach to fall prevention includes: in-home exercise for frail, homebound seniors, in-home fall risk assessment and recommendations, minor home modifications as necessary and a complete medication review. Free to qualified participants.
Friendly Visitors – 510-574-2097
Friendly Visitors matches frail, isolated seniors with volunteers that provide companionship through weekly visits, phone calls and outings. This program gives older adults the chance to share their knowledge and experience with people of all ages and backgrounds.
