Description: The Living Independently in a Friendly Environment program gives older adults the resources and support needed to remain independent in their community as they age in place. Implementation of the program stresses a proactive approach to empowering seniors to become decision makers in their communities, with emphasis on their involvement in program planning, implementation and volunteer support of services. The program offers a "basket of services" to enrollees, that includes educational programs and brochures, health and wellness activities, information and referral, socialization/recreational activities, transportation, volunteer programs, fall prevention programs, outreach to homebound and underserved populations, and home safety assistance.
