Improving Quality of Life
Aging & Disabled Resources
At Thrive, we want to improve the quality of life in West Central Indiana for everyone, from newborns to the elderly. We know that life for our aging and disabled community members can be challenging at times. We also know that caring for an aging or disabled loved one can be mentally and physically draining at times. That’s why Thrive’s goal is to provide resources that ease those difficulties and help our elderly and disabled clients live happier, more connected lives. Since 1974, when we were established as the Indiana Area 7 Agency on Aging and Disabled, we have been connecting members with private, state, and federal resources and funding. Our goal is to provide the support they need to live independently, with dignity, and to enjoy a better quality of life.
Thrive’s 2022 Housing Analysis Report highlights that the elderly population (65+) in West Central Indiana is projected to grow nearly 4% by 2050. 45% of the regional population is 50 or older, including empty nesters. As the population ages, it is crucial to help individuals plan to age in place with a high quality of life. Thrive offers access to local, state, and federal resources for elderly and disabled citizens, including grant funding for regional programs and individual support.
By contacting Thrive, you can access resources to improve your quality of life and live healthier, happier lives. Our certified team is dedicated to understanding your needs, creating practical care plans, and finding resources to ease any difficulties you may face.
Thrive’s Aging and Disabled Resources division serves Vigo, Vermillion, Sullivan, Parke, Putnam, and Clay counties, currently assisting nearly 1,500 aging and disabled individuals.
Our Focus
Thrive offers many resources to support our aging and disabled community members. We recommend you call us so our team can connect you to the best resources for your needs! You can read more about these resources below.
In-Home Services and Care
In-Home Services includes any care and help provided inside of the client’s home, allowing elderly or disabled individuals to continue to live independently! Typically, this care may look like help with hygiene tasks, daily chores, medication reminders, or healthcare services. Types of care include:
Meals, Nutrition, and Health
We know that quality food and access to medical necessities are an important part of a happy life. But for some aging and disabled individuals, these resources can be hard to access or overly expensive. That’s why meals, nutritional, and health resources are so important to our communities. Some of these resources include:
Home and Technology Modifications
Our needs and abilities often change as we age, making modifications necessary for a happy and healthy lifestyle. These changes can include installing ramps, chair lifts, handrails, and more! Thrive offers many different types of modifications and technologies to aid individuals, including:
