Senior Services

We support Seniors so they can maintain healthy and independent lives in the safety and comfort of their own homes.

YWCA’s Senior Services Program offers a wide range of information and support to Seniors, with an emphasis on people of color over the age of 60 living on low fixed incomes in East Multnomah County. 

Because we all deserve dignity as we age

Beginning in 2011 and continuing through the year 2030,

10k people in the U.S. a day turn 65.

Our services cater to the needs of Seniors and their caregivers, and include:

  • Care Management

  • Information And Referral

  • Respite And Support For Caregivers

  • Activities and Support Groups

  • Insurance Counseling

  • Transportation

  • Legal Assistance

The Senior Services team also act as advocates for their clients by facilitating their access to services provided by the YWCA’s partner agencies. These services include personal care, housekeeping, adult day care, and other services.

  • 1 in 4 Unhoused Oregonians Are Over 55

    Oregon’s population is aging and the demand for senior services is rising, yet critical funding and resources are being cut. Many of our senior neighbors are losing access to the supports that keep them housed, healthy, and independent.

    We’re launching a new volunteer program to support our team ensuring that seniors stay safe, connected, and cared for.

    Help us build a more equitable Portland that centers peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people, at every age. Join our volunteer interest list today!
