This list includes examples of how community services can help seniors in nursing homes resolve disputes and those still at home access resources that can keep them independent for longer.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Trident Area Agency on Aging | (843) 554-2275 | The purpose of the Trident Area Agency on Aging is to help seniors and their caregivers get the most from available resources in Summerville and Dorchester County. The agency manages some resources, such as the Caregiver Support Program, and refers seniors and their loved ones to other agencies if the help they need is available elsewhere. The agency also operates the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program for the area, which can help seniors in nursing homes resolve issues with their care providers. |
| Meals on Wheels of Summerville | (843) 873-8224 | Meals on Wheels of Summerville has been delivering healthy and freshly-prepared meals to homebound seniors in the city since 1982. Income isn't a factor in determining eligibility, but the senior must have difficulty in making their own meals and shopping for food. Each meal contains protein and two sides, with some fruit, or dessert, milk and a slice of bread. Food for some types of pets is also available. Although every meal is free, donations are gratefully accepted. |
| AccessAbility | (843) 225-0231 | AccessAbility is a federally-funded nonprofit organization located in North Charleston that loans gently-used and new donated medical equipment to seniors within the surrounding area to help them retain independence in their own homes. To benefit from the equipment loan program, seniors must first become members of AccessAbility. As the program's offerings are determined by donations, some equipment may not be available at the time of application. However, there is an option to purchase some equipment at favorable rates. |
| Legal Assistance | (800) 868-9095 | Low-income seniors in Summerville are entitled to free legal assistance funded by the South Carolina Department on Aging. Although the attorneys cannot help in most criminal cases, they can support seniors who may be victims of elder abuse and neglect and discrimination because of age. Typically, the attorneys advocate for seniors concerned about protecting their incomes, dealing with issues within their long-term care facilities and worried about losing access to utilities due to bill payment problems. |
