We Help You Maintain Your Functional Independence and Your Health

Services

Serving Our Seniors is dedicated to helping Erie County Seniors maintain their independence. All Serving Our Seniors programs are designed as the services of last resort. We will not duplicate a program to help senior citizens if one already exists. Instead, we make every effort to assist eligible clients to enroll in the existing program. If no program exists to fulfill the older person’s needs, those who qualify, will be helped through Serving Our Seniors programs.

Serving Our Seniors provides numerous services and programs to help Erie County residents, aged 60 or older to maintain their health and functional independence. The listing below of Serving Our Seniors’ services includes some, but not all, of Serving Our Seniors’ services. For more information, please call 419-624-1856.
