Speaker:  Carol Luth, volunteer coordinator for Aging Services talked of their many services to elders, with the goal of keeping people happy and healthy in their own homes as long as possible.  AS has 28 paid employees, and is  funded by a combination of United Way, government grants, public health funds and private donations.  AS advocates for medicate waivers, provides social worker services dealing with elder abuse issues, has two adult day care centers (Milestones) in the area, offers an in-home respite, vision enhancement services, coordinates a Chore program for lawn mowing, buys materials for handicap ramps, trains and schedules volunteers for home safety inspections.  Rides to doctor appointments added up to 3000 trips last year, and that program is expanding to provide transportation to pharmacies and grocery stores.  They also do telephone checks and home visits to those at risk.
