SENIOR SUPPORTIVE SERVICES

Senior Resource Association helps alleviate hunger, isolationism, and improves the health and wellbeing of thousands of aging adults every year in Indian River County. With our diverse nutrition programs, state-licensed Adult Enrichment & Respite centers, Public Guardian Program, and convenient transportation services for all, we help promote health, happiness and independence for adults of all ages. Our organization provides supportive services with little or no fees to the client, which is only made possible through limited public funding and the generosity of our community’s donors.

  • Senior Resource Association provides guardianship services to incapacitated adults of limited financial means who may be subject to abuse and neglect because they lack someone who is willing or able to monitor and advocate for them. The Public Guardian Program is designed to protect and exercise the legal rights of persons who lack the capacity to make their own decisions and are not adequately able to care for themselves. Through our guardians appointed to each case, an individualized care plan for medical and mental health treatment, social services and residential placement is established and filed with the court on behalf of our clients.
