Services That Make Daily Life Easier
At Crater District Area Agency on Aging, we are here to support you with services that bring comfort, care, and connection.
Whether it’s a helping hand at home, a ride to the doctor, or simply someone to talk to, our programs are designed to make life easier and more joyful. If you're 60 or older and live in our service area, you are already part of our community. And if you don’t see what you need here, just give our Senior Helpline a call at 804-732-7020—we are always happy to help.
Homemaker
Our Homemaker Program provides in-home assistance with daily tasks to help older adults live safely and comfortably in their own homes. Services may include light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and other routine chores.
This program supports independence while giving peace of mind to families and caregivers.
Care Coordination
Professional management and organization of health, social, and community services tailored to meet the unique needs of older adults. This includes assessing needs, developing care plans, connecting individuals with appropriate services, monitoring outcomes, and adjusting care as needed.
Case Management
Case management empowers older adults to take an active role in their care, supporting independence through personalized guidance, outreach, and thoughtful assessment of individual needs.
Legal Services
We offer limited legal services—wills, powers of attorney, medical directives, and notary support—at no cost. While not required, donations are always appreciated.
Nutrition
At Crater, our Nutrition Program is dedicated to reducing food insecurity among seniors in our community. We provide not only nourishing meals but also valuable health and nutrition education, supporting both homebound individuals and those who attend our senior centers.
We believe that every senior deserves access to wholesome food, trusted guidance, and the dignity of living well.
Transportation
Our Transportation Department is proud to offer safe, reliable rides to medical appointments and community activities. Transportation is available for a small fee based on your income, and we are happy to provide door-to-door service for your convenience.
We also support our senior citizens with rides to senior centers and other local events—helping you stay active, connected, and independent.
Health Education
We offer engaging programs designed to inform, empower, and support older adults in living healthier, safer lives. From wellness workshops to safety tips, our goal is to provide the knowledge and tools seniors need to thrive—physically, mentally, and emotionally—across the Crater District.

Our Caregiver Support Coordinator can help you fill out the application.
Respite Care for Caregivers
Our respite program offers temporary, in-home relief for family members caring for older adults or individuals with disabilities. Caregivers can take a much-needed break while their loved ones receive safe, compassionate support at home, ranging from companionship and personal care to help with daily tasks. This service is designed to reduce stress, support caregiver well-being, and prevent burnout.
CHORE Program Services
The CHORE program provides assistance to individuals who experience difficulty performing one or more instrumental activities of daily living, specifically heavy housework, yard work, or sidewalk maintenance.
