TCAA Supports Low-Income Senior Independence Programs in Community

SUPPORTING ACTIVE, HEALTHY LIVING AND AGING IN PLACE

Social isolation and sustained loneliness among our older adult neighbors can create significant barriers to individual and community well-being.  TCAA offers over forty years’ experience in delivering programs and services that enhance the quality of life for seniors in our community by maintaining their independence and dignity. We began to offer senior center-based activities in 1976 and added a variety of nutrition services for seniors in 1981.  TCAA works to prevent seniors from experiencing isolation, loneliness, and serious health risks, so that they can age safely in their homes and within their community of choice. Our Senior Independence focus combines the best of our senior services experience with our expansive knowledge of the target population and the importance of nutritious, reliable food and social connections for healthy aging.

With help from volunteers and donors, TCAA provides a continuum of services to older adults including access to lunchtime meals and activities at Tempe and Scottsdale Senior Centers, transportation, food, case management, home-based support, and opportunities to be of service. More than 1,000 seniors in Tempe and South Scottsdale participate in these services each year.
