Since 1999, Solutions For Seniors has assisted older adults in the Coachella Valley with vital advocacy and case management services. The program enables seniors to enjoy a higher quality of life while maintaining the greatest degree of independence possible.
Solutions for Seniors is open to those who are 60 and older of all faiths and economic levels. Many of the seniors in the program are homebound and live on a fixed income.
