UHAI Seniors Program​

The Seniors Program at UHAI for Health addresses the pressing needs of senior citizens aged 65 and above, particularly African Americans, refugees, and immigrants who face unique challenges. This program offers comprehensive case management services and combats food insecurity—a prevalent issue in this demographic.

Key Services

  • Food Security
Weekly food distributions, including both raw ingredients and cooked meals, cater to the nutritional needs of seniors. Collaborations with local establishments, such as Tembo Grill restaurant, ensure culturally appropriate meals for African immigrants and refugees seniors. The program also educates seniors about balanced diets and meal preparation to promote long-term health.
  • Case Management
Assistance is provided to seniors in navigating social determinants of health barriers including healthcare, housing support, and finding social services tailored to their needs. This includes connecting seniors to Medicare, Medicaid, and other financial aid programs designed to address healthcare costs.
  • Social Engagement
Recognizing the mental health challenges of isolation, UHAI organizes regular social events and workshops to keep seniors active and engaged, fostering a supportive community.
