  In-home help with bathing, feeding, and other self-care tasks during recovery, arranged the same way as the Homemaker Program, with the same income-based fee scale.

• Options Counseling

  A free, in-home assessment from an options counselor, who works with a senior and their family to sort out which services actually fit the situation.

• Care Transitions

  A coach who helps seniors 60 and older manage medications and avoid a hospital readmission after a stay at a Sentara hospital, connected through the hospital's own care team.

• Senior Cool Care

  Free window air conditioners or fans for income-eligible seniors 60 and older, funded by Dominion Energy, available May through October while funding lasts.

• Homeless Older Adults Program

  Outreach and support for older adults experiencing homelessness, including help with housing options, landlord mediation, identification, transportation, and benefits.

• No Wrong Door
