Senior Services

SCRPT offers nutrition and supportive aging services under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

 

The nutrition and social services we provide are aimed at enhancing overall quality of life while assisting seniors to remain independent and reduce institutionalization. Citizens age 60 and older are eligible for services, with priority given to low-income and minority residents of Hunt County.

 

Senior Services include:

• Congregate meals served at Senior Centers
• Home delivered meals
• Transportation

Our Mission: To impact effectively the communities within our service area by the provision of efficient services to accommodate developmental and economic growth with a respect for the environment, good health, and independence.
