Services in Alamance County:
Some organizations offer multiple kinds of support and may appear in multiple categories for convenient reference. For instance, the Kernodle Senior Center offers both social groups and fitness classes and appears under both “Social” and “Fitness” to make each list more complete. Please note: long term care, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, and residential resources are not included below.
Nutrition
Nutrition is about food and community. These resources include communal and delivery meals, both weekdays and weekends.
Social
Connection, support, and care. As important as the physical aspects of care, harder to define. This includes support groups, community connections, and care for older adults who are unable to stay home alone during the day.
Transportation
Reliable transportation is key for independent access to everything from doctors to the grocery store to friends. Public and paratransit included.
Fitness
Movement and exercise can help boost all sorts of health measures, and finding fitness focused on the needs of older adults can have benefits beyond physical health.
Healthcare
Healthcare resources here are senior-inclusive. This list includes primary care, supportive services, and in-home healthcare including home health aids.
Auxiliary
Sometimes, services with big impacts fall outside of these categories. Legal support, care coordination, and end of life care references are included here.
