We support our mission by delivering meals, providing transportation to medical appointments including persons in wheelchairs, making home safety modifications, assisting caregivers, providing homemaking services, case management, and social activities and trips. TSC also provides public bus routes in Teller County where other public transportation is minimal.

Why

Teller Seniors Coalition believes all older adults should live with independence and dignity and stay in their homes as long as possible. TSC believes no one should be prevented from accessing medical services due to lack of transportation. Food resources are provided to help seniors struggling to buy food due to recent price increases. Respite, housekeeping, safety related handyman services, and social outings improve the quality of life for aging seniors.
