Stay Cool This Summer with Senior Cool Care!

Published

on

Are you struggling to keep your home cool during the summer? The Senior Cool Care Program may be able to assist. Sponsored by Dominion Energy and administered by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), this program provides single-room air conditioners or fans to income-eligible seniors who need help cooling their homes.

You may qualify if:

  • You live in Seniors First’s coverage area of Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah, Warren, or Winchester
  • Your income is at or below 150% of the poverty level
  • You are age 60 or older

The program runs from May 1 through October 31, 2024. Remember that fans and air conditioners are issued on a first-come, first-served basis while funding lasts.

For more information, contact Seniors First’s Information and Referral Specialist at 540-635-7141 or email info@seniorsfirst.info. Stay safe and cool this summer!
