Supporting seniors' independence and protecting their dignity
Meals on Wheels employs licensed social workers who provide a variety of social and protective services that respond to seniors' safety and well-being. We work with families, caregivers and care managers to ensure seniors are safe and their basic needs are met.
Personal Financial Management
Seniors are especially vulnerable to scammers. We help them manage and protect their money so they can live independently and without major financial setbacks. We support seniors further by providing independent living assistance that alleviates challenges with essential tasks like responding to mail and scheduling appointments.
Senior Care Coordination
This special self-pay program provides assistance to seniors to help them solve everyday challenges. This can include finances, housing and coordinating services to support personal care needs, legal issues and medical issues.
Guardianship
When seniors reach a point where making decisions for themselves is too difficult (whether it’s due to illness or when incapacity endangers their health or safety) the court can appoint us to step in and become their guardian to make decisions on their behalf.
Summer Crisis Program
The Ohio Department of Development and Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky offer assistance to help Ohio’s families stay cool during the hot summer months. From July 1 through Sept. 30, 2025, income-eligible Ohioans can receive assistance in paying their electric bill, purchasing an air conditioner or fan, or making repairs to their central air conditioning unit through the Ohio Department of Development’s Home Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program (HEAP).
