Mission

The LOA serves seniors 60 and older in the Roanoke Valley and Alleghany Highlands with a mission of helping older persons remain independent for as long as possible. We are able to carry out this mission by providing services such as Meals on Wheels, Transportation, Case Management and Insurance Counseling.

What We Do

Care Coordination - Evaluates cases to determine which services are needed and links
people with those services. Provides outreach (finding people who need the services and making the public aware of the services) and, screening, assessment, care planning, service delivery coordination, monitoring and reassessment.

Options Counseling – A Case Manager meets with clients and discusses information and options for various services, and the client arranges their own services.

Meals-on-Wheels - Volunteers deliver hot meals to homebound elderly.

Pets Eat Too - Pet food is donated by the RVSPCA for the pets of our Meals-on-Wheels clients and is delivered on a weekly basis by the volunteers.

Nutrition Counseling - Nutrition Counselor determines if MOW clients, referred by Case Managers, are at high risk and qualify for nutrition supplements and provides nutrition education on a variety of topics to MOW’s clients and Diners Club groups.
