Helping neighbors in NWI find the care and support they need
According to Census data, more than 17 million Americans age 65+ are economically insecure, and people with disabilities are twice as likely to experience poverty as their nondisabled peers. These individuals can struggle with rising housing and health care costs, inadequate nutrition, lack of access to transportation, diminished savings, and job loss.
At CoAction, we provide support to older persons and persons with disabilities so that they can remain in their homes and communities, be well, and maintain as much independence as possible for as long as possible. These opportunities and resources include:
- Our Aging and Disability Resource Center for information and assistance
- In-home services for help with housekeeping, personal care, and medical needs
- Opportunities to enjoy a hot, delicious meal with friends at a local center
- Assistance with connecting you with local transportation services
- Volunteers who serve as companions for older adults
- An advocate for people who live in assisted living or a nursing home

Learn About Options for Needed Care
Options Counseling helps people develop a plan for long-term care needs. Applicants are asked a series of questions regarding how much help they need for their activities of daily living including dressing, bathing, medication management, and ambulation. We also ask about income and assets to learn about financial qualifications. Our counselors work with families to find the programs that will be the best fit for each person’s needs.
CoAction is Your Local Area Agency on Aging
Area Agencies on Aging are part of a statewide network of organizations that plan, coordinate, and fund services for older adults. We help older adults maintain high quality of life and continue living independently. Our Area Agency on Aging helps people find answers to questions, guides them to appropriate resources, and provides direct assistance in accessing services.
