SENIOR RESOURCES

The Champlain Senior Center relies on the many local community services and government agencies including:

BenefitsCheckup.org – helps thousands of people every day to find programs for seniors that may pay for some of their costs of prescription drugs, health care, utilities, and other essential items or services.

Champlain Valley Agency on Aging, Inc. (CVAA) – connects older people with the services they need to live independently for as long as possible.

Chittenden Country Transportation Authority (CCTA) – offers fixed route, demand response, commuter shuttles, and ADA and para-transit services in Burlington, South Burlington, Shelburne, Colchester, Winooski, Williston, and Essex Junction.

Fletcher Allen Health Care (FAHC)

Medicare

Social Security Administration

Special Services Transportation Agency (SSTA)

The National Council on the Aging – a national voice for older adults – especially those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged, and the community organizations that serve them.

The United Way of Chittenden County – the only local organization to take a bird’s-eye view of the human service needs of our community. If it requires fundraising, rallying volunteers, or just plain getting people to work together, that’s what they do. U.S. Administration on Aging offers information to develop a comprehensive, coordinated and cost-effective system of home and community-based services that helps elderly individuals maintain their health and independence in their homes and communities.
