Falls by older adults are among the most serious for injuries and cost nearly $2 million statewide in direct medical costs daily.
Community Partnership on Aging’s Safe at Home service is designed to prevent falls by older adults living at home. Through grants, fundraising efforts, support from volunteers and local businesses alike, CPA is able to install safety equipment (such as a shower grab bar), in the homes of eligible older adults at little to no cost.
Also, the following services and programs are offered by the agency, which prioritizes services to residents in the communities of South Euclid, Lyndhurst, Highland Heights, Mayfield Heights and Mayfield Village:
• Transportation
• A variety of lunch options, including several scratch-prepared, caféstyle meals
• Resource referrals, benefits screenings and short-term counseling
• On-site wellness and social programs
• Light housekeeping
• Travel opportunities
• Volunteer services and opportunities
