Outreach Services
Licensed Social Workers provide in-home visits to people 60 and older who may benefit from assistance, or who have questions or concerns about matters affecting their physical, social, financial, or emotional well-being or independence. After determining if ongoing help is needed, you, and your family, if you wish, can be referred for ongoing services.
Other services offered through Outreach include the administration of Ohio Benefits Bank (to determine eligibility for discounts and entitlement programs); Healthy IDEAS (for management of depression) program; information and referral; education; consultation; supportive counseling; and support with life transitions and decision making.
Homemaking
Homemakers with Rent A Daughter provide assistance to those unable to perform routine housekeeping tasks. Priority is given to those who do not have others who can assist them and who have health issues. The Service is approximately two hours every two weeks. Service can include linen changing, dusting, vacuuming and other light housekeeping tasks.
Plugged-In Programming and Indoor/Outdoor Programs
A variety of exercise classes, wellness opportunities; AARP Drivers Safety and Matter of Balance classes; educational programs; entertainment, cultural programs; and social groups are offered daily according to the calendar of events contained within the agency’s monthly newsletter. All programs, classes and events are open to the public, although registration may be required.
Volunteerism
Offering opportunities to engage in meaningful activity by volunteering or receiving volunteer services are a focus of this program. Our volunteer coordinator will work with those in need of services to determine their needs. She will also work with potential volunteers to learn about their skills, life experiences and interests so that a successful match can occur. Volunteers assist with a wide range of projects including serving on committees, clerical work; escorting trips; assisting with agency programs; minor home repairs; offering friendly visits; cleaning yards; assisting with trash or recycling removal; and much more. See the Volunteer Opportunities page if you wish to offer volunteer services.
Safe at Home Program
If you are someone who needs grab bars, hand rails or other minor modifications to your home in order to remain independent, consider applying for our Safe at Home program.
The program offers older adult homeowners in member cities access to both durable medical equipment and dollars that will enable those of lower income or face other barriers to apply for and receive tools and equipment that will assist in adapting their homes for comfort and safety.
The Safe At Home Program is administered by a Community Partnership on Aging Social Worker and will include a home assessment as well as an application with income and asset verification. Additionally, Safe At Home utilizes local businesses and contractors for purchase and installation of the equipment, which will, in turn, assist in boosting the local economy. Call our social work office for information and to schedule a home visit: 440-442-2626 x 244.
