Our SCACAD group is in a workshop today, constructing our mission, vision and values with Charles Weathers from @weathersgroup. We’re looking forward to new and innovative ways of serving seniors.
Experts think ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft can help solve transportation needs for older people. Elders themselves? Some say yes; many aren't so sure.nytimes.com/2019/08/16/hea…
Our very own, Beth Sulkowski, shares the state of Alzheimer’s in SC with @AgingSC during the 1st Aging Advisory Council meeting-where Alz Advocate, Cheryll Woods-Flowers & our board member, Dr. Cheryl Dye of @ClemsonUniv! #Ask4Alz #ENDALZ
Sally Sherrin, president of the SC Association of Council on Aging Directors, testified today before the SC Advisory Council on Aging. She highlighted the initiatives SCACAD has recently been able to accomplish by pooling resources across the state.
6.9 million seniors live on an income of $228 a week or less. That’s where #MealsOnWheels comes in. Consistent meals delivered daily, ensure that #seniors will never have to choose between food, medicine or home expenses. bit.ly/MOWTheIssue
Keep your prescription drugs from getting into the wrong hands by turning in any unused or leftover prescription medications.

Do you know a caregiver? If so, you probably know it can be hard for caregivers to ask for help. Here are great suggestions on ways you can support and offer a helping hand for the caregiver in your life. elizz.com/caregiver-reso…
Every day, #MealsOnWheels volunteers deliver nutrition and a safety check. Here's why that's so important: bit.ly/MOWTheIssue
The SC Vulnerable Adult Guardian ad Litem Program trains volunteers to serve as guardians ad litem for certain vulnerable adults. View the flyer below to learn more about an upcoming training opportunity in Columbia on April 5 and how you can volunteer to help.
Some nutrition and fitness advice tailor-made for seniors. If you or a loved one need support in these areas, contact your county’s Council on Aging. seattletimes.com/life/wellness/…
When asked, what percentage of income is used by low fixed income folks on necessities? John Ruoff responded 100%...they often forgo things they need like food and healthcare. They have to rob Peter to pay Paul and rob Paul to pay Peter back next month.

As we welcome new Members of Congress, millions of vulnerable seniors in America still face hunger and isolation. Tell the new #Congress to prioritize #seniors who rely on #MealsOnWheels today: mealsonwheelsamerica.org/EmailCongress
“It’s like Christmas. You just look forward to them coming, and opening that bag and seeing what it is. Without Meals on Wheels...it would be tough”. For millions of #seniors in need like Kathleen, #MealsOnWheels brings cheer and comfort year round. bit.ly/MOWImpact
‘Old’ is a meaningless social construct that boxes an amazingly diverse array of people. Might as well try to group horses, oranges and orangutans. Problem is it drives social policy and, worse, we can internalise the expectations that come with the label nytimes.com/2018/12/13/wel…
#morethanameal Meals on Wheels volunteers across our state help ensure our elderly neighbors are safe and healthy every day.

“All we’re ever asked to do in this life is to treat our neighbor—especially our neighbor who is in need—exactly as we would hope to be treated ourselves. That’s our ultimate responsibility.”
In SC, nearly 200,000 seniors are hungry. #MealsonWheels programs serve 20,000. Our agencies across the state are working hard to reach every hungry senior.

Would you tell your loved ones to wait if they needed you? Nearly 19 million seniors currently live at or near poverty. Every day, they wait for crucial services and nutrition. Help #MealsOnWheels be there for them and eliminate the stress of waiting. bit.ly/2PAgZeS
