Senior Resource Services was founded by DeeAnn Groves. Caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s 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 another’s company. Presently we have 190 clients and 113 volunteers. We realize that once we let Greeley and the other communities in Weld County know about our service, our numbers will increase.
Because of grants and the generosity of businesses and individuals we are able to have an office with an Executive Director, Administrative Assistant, Secretary, North Weld Coordinator, Central Weld Volunteer Coordinator, and a South Weld Coordinator.
