The Teller Senior Coalition provides services to Older Adults in the Teller County area. These services include rides to doctors appointments or for other essential needs, food resources, counseling, respite support for caregivers, homemaking services, help with heating costs and installing grab bars. Social activities, including bi-monthly bingo, keeps seniors active and having fun. Our services help seniors live their “best life” as they age.
Many seniors are living on a fixed income and struggle financially to meet their daily needs. Seniors also deal with declining health issues and may be isolated from family and friends. The Teller Senior Coalition helps seniors remain connected to the Community and extends the time they can stay in their homes. TSC’s services allow Older Adults to live independently with a better quality of life.
The Teller Senior Coalition is committed to ensuring all seniors in our geographical area are able to access and benefit from our services. Funding for senior services has been reduced recently, making contributions to funding services for Older Adults more important than ever.
The senior population of the Pikes Peak region is increasing significantly. In 2010 13.2% of the population was age 65 or over, now this percentage is 27.4%. TSC helps 42 residents age 90 or over.
“The Teller Senior Coalition was extremely helpful, providing transportation to medical appointments in Colorado Springs. They also installed grab bars to help me in the bathroom. Their services were key to my recovery.” — a senior who broke his ankle
