Seniors in Latrobe and Westmoreland County can benefit from many resources aimed at enhancing their lives. The following examples provide opportunities for seniors to make new friends and contribute to the community, in addition to getting medical assistance and support if the quality of their care falls below expectations.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Latrobe Senior Center | (724) 539-0237 | Latrobe Senior Center is a hub for the city's older residents. It focuses on activities that stimulate the mind as well the body, in addition to providing healthy, fresh and nutritious meals at lunchtimes on weekdays. Activities include traditional games, such as bingo, billiards and cards. Seniors can also involve themselves in more active pursuits, such as line dancing, aqua aerobics and Jazzercise. |
| Westmoreland County VA Clinic | (724) 216-0317 | Westmoreland County VA Clinic provides primary care services to U.S. military veterans and their families. It also supports those with more specialty care needs, such as survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma. The facility includes a radiology department and offers podiatry and weight management services. Seniors whose conditions require additional treatment typically transfer to either the Department of Veterans of Affairs Medical Center or the Pittsburgh VA Medical Center, both of which are located in Pittsburgh. |
| Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) | (724) 925-4213 | Seniors keen to constructively use their spare time and their life skills and experience to help their communities should contact RSVP. The program connects volunteers with a multitude of nonprofit organizations and agencies within Westmoreland County who serve the community. Work examples include helping out in animal care shelters, delivering meals to homebound seniors and, after training, acting as a Medicare counselor for adults not yet enrolled in a plan. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (717) 783-8975 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is a volunteer who educates seniors in assisted living facilities about their rights and advocates for them in disputes with their care providers. There is no charge for the ombudsman's services, which also include issuing inspection reports to seniors comparing assisted living facilities for their own long-term care needs. The families of senior care residents and third parties can register complaints with the ombudsman too. Very serious complaints, such as elder abuse allegations, are transferred to the appropriate authorities. |
Latrobe-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in Pennsylvania are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in Pennsylvania page for more information about these laws.
