The public agency is an advocate for all older Americans, identifying the needs of the elderly in northwest Ohio and creating multiyear plans for the development of community-based services to meet those needs. There is a strong network of senior community centers and many housing and living choices for seniors in northwest Ohio. Many apartment units have been built especially for older persons, and some apartment houses may be the site of a senior center or congregate meals. Others have transportation and outreach programs with a nearby senior center. You can find appropriate housing by referring to the Area Office on Aging or the Toledo Area Chamber of Commerce.
Many centers also serve as senior dining locations.
They may provide some services to homebound persons as well. For a complete list of senior nutrition sites, contact the Lucas County Senior Nutrition Program at 385-2532.
