Senior Services Program
MCS' Senior Services Program is dedicated to providing services that enable area seniors to remain independent and to continue living in their own homes for as long as possible.
Brown Bag
Brown Bag is a monthly food distribution for seniors living on St.
Paul's Eastside. A bag of food containing 10 - 12 items is distributed
twice a month at two locations. Applications are available at all MCS
offices.
Chore Services
Seniors, do you have housekeeping, yardwork,
or minor repairs that you are physically unable to do? Merrick Community
Service's chore program can help. A sliding fee scale is available.
Home Delivered Meals
Meals are delivered to those 60 and older or those under 60 who are
certified disabled. Meals are delivered Monday through Friday between
11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. An intake is done over the telephone and services
can usually be started the following day.
Health Clinics
Flu shot clinics, blood pressure checks and health assessments are
held periodically.
Tax Preparation Assistance
Each year at tax time, AARP provides a volunteer to help seniors prepare
their income tax returns.
Social Group
MCS' senior social group meets weekly, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for
activities, group trips, socialization and occasional speakers on topics
of interest.
MCS' trained staff will answer all questions about the services MCS provides and other services available in the community. Referrals will be made when appropriate.
Our programs depend heavily on the services of volunteers. Home-delivered meals are delivered by volunteers.
