When you support Trident Area Agency on Agency we support our older adult community. Pick your cause to support, Medication Assistance, Family Caregiver Support or Home Safety.
Trident area Agency on Aging has been providing assistance, advocacy and answers on aging since 1991! Due to an increase in need from our older adults and recent budget cuts, we are reaching out to our community for support.
With your support we can continue to serve the needs of older adults, adults with disabilities and caregivers in the trident area. You will be acknowledged for your support and all donations are tax-deductible.

Rock-A-Thon Causes
1) Medication Assistance: If you had to choose between food and your medications which would you chose? This is a dilemma for many of our seniors today! We receive calls on a regular basis from older adults in our community that are struggling to make life saving choices. We want to eliminate food or medications as a choice and provide them with the safety and security of having these basic needs provided for them. The Medication Assistance Program will provide someone with financial assistance for their medication.
2) Family Caregiver Support: Have you ever heard that being a Caregiver is one of the hardest jobs you can have? As a care giver you are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A caregiver faces many physical and mental challenges on a daily basis. Many times a caregiver provides excellent care to their loved one and often forgets or neglects caring for themselves. The Family Caregiver Support Program provides educational information, short term in home care, facility respite care, peer support and counseling to help families cope with the emotional and physical stresses associated with caring for a loved one.
3) Home Safety: Home is where the heart is, but is the home of an older or disabled adult safe? As a community we are usually very reactive to problems. But, with the older community safety needs to be addressed in a very proactive manner. The rug in the bathroom, or the shower without grab bars, or the entry stairs with no railing are very high risk problems. Home Safety Evaluation and Assistance Program provides a safe and secure environment for aging in place. Most older adults want age in their homes, without proper safety measures this can be very costly and dangerous.
