Many of these individuals have witnessed unimaginable atrocities, and suffered the loss of loved ones. Their difficulties are further compounded by a lack of English skills, social isolation due to physical infirmities, financial insecurity, and intergenerational challenges.

RefugeeOne’s Senior Services Initiative strives to remedy these problems. To help seniors overcome their challenges, the Senior Services Initiative offers an array of services.

Case Management Services- Caring and dedicated caseworkers complete a comprehensive needs assessments for each client along with the development and fulfillment of an individualized Care Plan. These services also provide individualized assistance for elderly immigrants and refugees who wish to obtain US citizenship.

Community Forums-These provide information on relevant topics, such as financial management, transportation, housing, health and nutrition, safety, legal, immigration issues, and community support services.
