HANCI - Services - Older Adults

For older adults, HANCI offers programs and services to promote active, healthy and happy living.

• The Council on Aging of Niagara County is the leading voice for Niagara County's seniors. The COA distributes materials and links seniors with other agencies to provide personalized service. The COA also organizes social activities, craft shows, conferences and other enjoyable events.
• The Foster Grandparent Program gives seniors an opportunity to work with children in need. A foster Grandparent can be a mentor, tutor, caregiver and role model to a child. Foster Grandparent Program volunteers make new friends and achieve the satisfaction of helping to shape the future.
• The Senior Companion Program unites healthy seniors with homebound seniors who need the warmth and bond of a new friend. A Senior Companion can improve someone's quality of life ... simply by being a friend.
• The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) helps people 55 and older find volunteer opportunities to match their skills and interests. RSVP volunteers are stationed throughout schools, museums, healthcare facilities, community agencies and government offices.
  
• The Golden Age Program meets cultural, recreational and educational needs of seniors in the Niagara Falls area. Services include trips, speakers, entertainment, games, information and referral programs.
• HANCI's Intergenerational Services pair seniors with younger community members for activities such as the Let's Get Physical exercise program and the "Senior Prom".
• HANCI's Sharing Your Wishes program can help you and other adults to plan for your future care.
