Senior & Caregiver Advocacy

The Senior & Caregiver Advocacy program focuses on supporting and empowering seniors, as well as caregivers, by addressing their individual needs and preferences so that they may remain living safely and independently in their own homes as long as possible. This program is for anyone age 60 and older, adults of any age who have disabilities or are on Medicare, family members who help elders with daily tasks.  This program is offered in the counties of Fillmore, Houston, Dodge and Steele.

We have a Senior & Caregiver Advocate on staff who practices sign language.

 

The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is no longer being administered by Semcac due to funding reductions. If you are interested in a program similar to this in the Rushford area, refer to Catholic Charities. Thank you.
