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 resp

ite, 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. If you, or a loved one, would benefit from any of Island Senior Resources’ services, visit www.senior-resources.org and click “Get Help” or call 360-321-1600 or 360-678-3373.

🐾 Happy National Dog Day from ISR and our favorite four-legged ambassador, Bebop the Wonder Corgi! 🐾

Bebop reminds us that some of life's greatest joys come with wagging tails, wet noses, and unconditional love. Dogs help keep us active, connected, and smiling, and that's something worth celebrating!

Today, we're giving an extra belly rub and a big thank you to all the canine companions who make our days brighter.

Drop a photo of your pup in the comments and help us celebrate National Dog Day! 📸🐶

Volunteer Highlight: Donna
From caregiver to community builder ❤️

When Donna first connected with Island Senior Resources, she was looking for support while caring for her husband. What she found was a community. Today, she's giving that same sense of connection back by leading walking groups, teaching fitness classes, and helping older adults stay active, engaged, and supported.

Read Donna's inspiring story and discover how one person's journey has created opportunities for so many others to connect, move, and belong.
