The Lorain County Office on Aging (LCOA) serves as the lead agency supporting older adults in Lorain County, providing nutrition programs, in-home assistance, and volunteer engagement opportunities.
With grant support from The McGregor Foundation, LCOA is strengthening and expanding its nutrition, in-home support and volunteer services to help seniors age successfully. Often serving as a first point of contact for community members seeking help, LCOA works to improve seniors’ health and independence, reducing food insecurity and isolation. Serving 5,057 older adults, LCOA provides volunteer opportunities, meal delivery, homemaking services, volunteer placement and resource referrals.
“The McGregor Foundation funding has been instrumental in LCOOA’s continued operation of its medical transportation program,” said Nicole Bellmore Pierse, Executive Director of the Lorain County Office on Aging. “Given the lack of public transportation in Lorain County, medical transportation for seniors is essential to ensuring their ability to age safely in the place they choose to call home.”
