Senior Resource Services Volunteer Video

A video I made for Senior Resouce Services in Greeley, a non-profit organization assisting the elderly and their families in addressing the issues of aging.

Senior Resource Services is committed to providing respite care (relief of responsibilities) to family members and primary caregivers of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's Disease/Dementia and other aging issues. Because the cost of home health care iso out of reach for many, SRS is able to provide the much needed services at absolutely no charge to individuals and their families.

Senior Resource Services was founded by DeeAnn Groves. Caring for her mother with Alzheimers kindled her passion in helping the elderly and led her to become a gerontologist. Knowing some of the challenges caregivers are encountering, adult children not knowing where to turn for help, and seniors living alone needing assistance for a better quality of life, was the reason Senior Resource Services was established.

We received our 501 c 3 non profit status in 2007 and began two programs:
Time-Out Caregiver Respite program and Special Friend Program. Volunteers provide assistance in these two programs and everything is free of charge to the senior.

We began with one client and one caregiver and as of today, they have bonded and enjoy one anothers company. Presently we have 43 clients and 21 volunteers. We realize that once we let Greeley and the other communities in Weld County know about our service, our numbers will increase.
