Resources for Seniors — Wake County

Resources for Seniors is a nonprofit that has connected older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers with services in Wake County since 1973. Its main office is at 1110 Navaho Drive, Suite 400, Raleigh; the phone number is 919-872-7933. Its information-and-referral service helps families compare options, while some programmes are delivered directly by the organisation. An initial conversation can clarify the situation and identify the resource serving a person’s address.

Programmes include in-home care, day centres, senior centres, home adaptations and maintenance, weatherisation, and caregiver support. Wake Independence @ Home groups in-home services with sliding-scale cost-sharing for Wake County residents who need personal care; criteria and costs vary by programme and assessment, and not every housekeeping task qualifies. The organisation also publishes calendars for its Total Life centres and maintains a community-resource directory for services it does not provide itself.

The City of Raleigh describes Resources for Seniors as serving older adults and people with disabilities throughout Wake County, including municipalities outside Raleigh, although individual programmes may have narrower areas or waiting lists. When calling, specify whether the need is companionship, personal care, respite, a day centre, or a home modification, and ask for an estimated cost before accepting service. The official site offers a referral request; for an immediate meal need, it directs people to Meals on Wheels or 211.
