Island Senior Resources provides resources that enhance the emotional, social, and physical well-being of seniors, adults with disabilities, and those who care for them across Island County, WA. We provide objective information about aging and disability related programs and services, Meals on Wheels, medical transportation, information about Medicare, unpaid caregiver education, support, and respite, support groups, and many other services. Our goal is to support the independence, dignity, and health of older adults. Demand for Meals on Wheels has doubled since the pandemic began— We now deliver 8,000+ meals each month to homebound individuals in need. We moved all support groups online and have since expanded virtual support group offerings to maintain personal connections, with plans to further increase options in the coming months. Our Resource Specialists and Case Managers are managing increased call volume and length, while addressing issues of fear, grief, caregiver burnout, basic needs, providing information and guidance, as well as obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, and services for their clients. Our volunteers provide many services, including friendly check-in calls to isolated individuals, and we have a large medical lending library full of medical equipment and supplies that are available to anyone.
