ESCANABA Area senior centers are working to provide necessities and maintain a semblance of connection during pandemic restrictions.
Despite being closed to the public, the centers have adapted their core services to continue providing assistance with obtaining meals and filing paperwork. Menominee County is also offering rides again, with a priority on medical appointments, for a nominal fee.
Community Action Agency (CAA) senior centers provide helpful administrative assistance regarding programs for seniors, such as enrolling or making changes to Medicare/Medicaid assistance, applying for low-income subsidy programs, and preparing information for home heating and homestead credits for taxes.
