Senior Nutrition Program & Meals on Wheels!

The Senior Nutrition Program consists of both "hot lunches" served at our senior centers and Home-Delivered "Meals on Wheels". We assist seniors (60+) to remain healthy and independent in their communities through good nutrition. Hot meals are served five days a week at senior centers in Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Elma, Raymond and Ilwaco. Nutritious frozen meals are delivered to clients who cannot get in to the senior centers.

The Senior Nutrition Program, including Meals on Wheels, is only possible through the help of volunteers and private donations. Volunteers are needed in both Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties to serve meals, deliver meals and plan fundraising activities.

If you would like to make a donation or volunteer your services to this valuable local program, please call the Aberdeen Senior Center for more information 360-500-4541.

To see if you may qualify for Meals on Wheels and for more information about the Senior Nutrition Program and Meals on Wheels please call 360-500-4541.

In-Home Care

CCAP In-Home Care has been providing services for over 25 years. We currently serve approximately 300 clients in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties. We provide these services by employing over 117 caregivers.

Our Services enable the elderly and the disabled to remain at home for as long as possible, in many cases stemming off the need for expensive nursing home stays. We also provide services to children and people with developmental needs. Services vary according to the needs of the client, including:

Housework, Laundry, Personal Care, Meal Preparation, Medication Reminders, Transportation to physician appointments, 24-hour Care. We are also a distributor for Philips LIFELINE.

This is a fee-for-service program. The majority of our clients qualify for state funded programs. Less than 20% of our clients pay with private funds.

Social Security Representative Payment Program

This program serves individuals that receive Social Security and/or SSI payments that cannot manage their finances.

We currently serve about 180 beneficiaries through this program.

Senior Peer Counselors

The Senior Peer Counseling Program is designed to assist seniors through a natural life crisis. A life crisis could be anything from having trouble moving through the grieving process after the loss of a loved one or pet, dealing with illness, change of residence, or other major life changes.

Senior Peer Counselors can help clients find new support systems, solve their own problems and assist participants in finding new places to live.

Peer Counselors don't do In-Home Care services or housework. They are not a Senior Companion, a moving company, or a transportation service.

If you or a friend could use the help of a Senior Peer Counselor, please call RSVP at 360-532-4900. This service is available in both Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties.
