Our Senior Peer Counselors have worked hard during shelter-in-place. Instead of weekly face-to-face visits, volunteers have been using technology to provide wellness checks with adults age 55+, either in a one-to-one setting or in virtual groups. It has been more important than ever to reach out to our neighbors who feel isolated and need additional services.
In partnership with Peninsula Health Care District, the staff at Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center have been operating an Older Adult Resource Line to connect adults age 60+ in San Mateo County to programs that can help in this time of uncertainty. Fair Oaks staff have been able to provide food boxes and “Grab and Go” meals for program participants who would normally eat meals at Fair Oaks. PFS has provided gift cards to older adults in need through the COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund.
