SOAR, Supporting Older Adults through Resources, Inc.

SOAR has been providing services to seniors aged 65 and older in Frederick County since 2015. Seniors are the largest growing population and are among the most vulnerable and underserved among us. Seniors live on a fixed income without the ability to increase that income for the remainder of their lives. Many of them are health impaired and rely on important medications, home modifications, and medical equipment to assist them. They have served their families, their communities, and their country and now many need our support.

SOAR was created to meet the increasing needs that exist for this special population. We work hard to ensure that our seniors are treated with dignity and respect and strive to meet their needs. Many live in substandard housing an do not know where to turn. Many live without the ability to get to the store, the doctor, the pharmacy as they either cannot afford a car or can no longer drive. Basic, essential every day needs are difficult for them to obtain. SOAR is an organization that provides direct assistance and support without the bureaucracy, red tape, and frustrations that often exist. We work with physicians, social workers, nurses, and therapists to support their patients/clients and have a great partnership within the Senior Services division, local hospital, and department of social services.

Without the vital support that SOAR provides, many seniors would be left feeling hopeless, forgotten, and often living without their basic needs.
