Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging provides a network of services to senior citizens aged 60 and over in Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah and Warren Counties and The City of Winchester. During the pandemic, the need for meals to homebound seniors has increased dramatically. SAAA’s Meals on Wheels currently delivers a five to seven-day supply of meals weekly.

During the pre-pandemic period, the centers were open so seniors could participate in wellness and educational programs, social activities and enjoy a delicious lunch providing 1/3 of the daily nutritional requirement for seniors. Centers are closed during the pandemic, so Senior Center staff members check on their seniors regularly to ensure they are well, safe and see if they have any special needs. Staff members brighten the day of those receiving home-delivered meals by providing do-at-home crafts and other special surprises delivered by their SAAA drivers.
Other services SAAA provides include transportation to medical appointments, In-Home Personal Care, Respite Care and Medicare, Part D insurance counseling.
