Senior Resources Agency on Aging-Eastern CT announces that it is offering a
COVID 19 related, short term funding program to pay for groceries and delivery to
the home of older adults.
People 60 years or older provide their grocery list to specially trained intake
personnel over the phone. The list is then ordered and paid for through services
such as Instacart or other grocery store providers. The recipient pays nothing.
Approximately $100 of groceries per order, delivery fees and tip are all included in
the program funding.
Benefits screening is offered to ensure that the participant is aware of any
programs or services that will help them to continue to live independently in their
community. This might include Medicare counseling, Senior Nutrition Program
participation, SNAP application, Caregiver support, transportation, housing
questions, heating assistance and much more.
Participants provide basic demographic information in a confidential phone
conversation, similar to other Older Americans Act funded programs. Income is
discussed as part of the benefits screening process but is not a requirement of the
grocery program. Call 860-887-3561 Monday through Friday 8:30 – 4:00. Have
your list ready and let the receptionist know that you are calling about the
grocery program.
Senior Resources, the Area Agency on Aging in Eastern Connecticut, is a
private non-profit organization established in 1976 and authorized by the Older
Americans Act of 1965 and state statute to provide unbiased access, information
and referral to programs related to aging. The Eastern Connecticut region
includes Windham, New London, Middlesex County and several towns of Tolland
County.

Lunch orders should be called in ahead of time and payment will take place when checking in at the reception desk.

Bingo is still on Thursdays with a new time. Cards will be sold at 9:30 and
bingo will begin at 10:30. Lunch will be served at 11:30 and bingo will
resume at 12:00

Pickleball is something of a mix between tennis, racquetball and ping pong. Players use
special paddles and a whiffle ball, and games take place on tennis courts with specific
pickleball lines. Nets and court sizes are smaller than their tennis counterparts, and the
most common game is doubles, although singles is also an option. It has its own set of
quirky rules — for instance, try to stay out of the “kitchen”— but they’re easy to learn.
The game is quick, making it a convenient way to get in some exercise. Games in a typical
league run only 15 minutes each — you can get in as little or as much as you want.
We have experienced players that would love the opportunity to teach new players. It’s
played right here at our Lisbon Meadows tennis court. Call 860-376-2329 to inquire.

Join us for our picnic or just swing by to buy a yummy, sweet treat.
