SENIOR REACH
Home Care and Other Services for Seniors
In 1983, Senior Reach (formerly Elderly Ministries) was established at the request of the City of Rockville to address the needs of lower-income seniors and help them age in place. Senior Reach’s services help the elderly maintain their independence and avoid costly assisted living facilities, loneliness, or other risks while keeping them involved in the community.
Testimonials
The clinic staff called me over and over again to get tested for colon cancer. I followed their recommendations and thanks to all the staff, the doctor and the manager, I was saved from advanced cancer. They discovered my cancer early and thanks to them I no longer have cancer.
