Elders Program

The Elders Program, based in Gambell, AK, is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors through a comprehensive range of support services tailored to meet their unique needs. We provide vital food assistance, including a monthly Elder Food Box, along with caregiver training and personalized case management to ensure seniors receive the help they deserve. Our program also offers durable medical equipment, consumer-directed personal care assistant services, and respite options, helping families care for their loved ones. Educational resources on fall and injury prevention, as well as assistance navigating Medicare and Medicaid, empower seniors to maintain their health and independence. Additionally, we foster strong community connections through our Retired Senior Volunteer Program, monthly gatherings like teas and potlucks, and elder transportation services in the Anchorage area. Advocacy, mental health training, and resource access support are integral to our mission, ensuring that our elders in the community are heard, respected, and cared for.
