East Side Elders

Supporting Our Older Neighbors

Remember just a year ago when we were all locked down?  Remember the feeling of isolation?  That is what our seniors go through every day.  East Side Elders is there to help our elders in their homes and community to live fuller lives.  Sometimes, it is just a little help.  Sometimes, it is getting out in the world again without fear.  Sometimes it is just knowing someone is there.   A place that understands. Where they can talk and get reassurance. Where someone is able to help navigate health issues or find resources.  A place that offers socialization and growth in activities, learning and enjoying.

Here are just a few ways East Side Elder serves in the community:

• Elder Cafe for meeting up with old and new friends every other month.
• Friendly visits - where volunteers come and visit in their homes
• Transportation to and from medical appointments
• Offering supportive phone calls to help lessen social isolation
• Providing mowing of lawns, fall cleanup or snow shoveling
• Offering wellness services and footcare

Our clients are resilient and fiercely independent, and it is our mission to help them remain in their homes safely, with independence and dignity.  With your help, we will continue to work with our seniors to bring them the resources and support they need.

Neighbors helping neighbors: Help seniors stay in the home or community they want for as long as they want.

East Side Elders helps seniors in Dayton’s Bluff, Payne-Phalen, and Conway-Battle Creek live full and rewarding lives — in the home and community they want — for as long as possible. Our teams of volunteers, students and community members provide a wide range of services and activities that give the necessary support and resources to our older neighbors wherever they call home.  

East Side Elders is a member of the Living at Home Network.  For over twenty-five years, non-profit, community-owned Living at Home/Blog Nurse Programs have helped elders stay healthy while living in their own homes.
