CoAction’s Senior Companion Program pairs older adults with friendly volunteers who provide companionship and a helping hand.

At CoAction, we understand a Dementia diagnosis can be hard to manage. We can connect you with both in-person or virtual support groups for both caregivers and People Living with Dementia (PLWD) alike.

Northwest Indiana In-Person Support Groups

• Groups sponsored by Alzheimer’s & Dementia Services of Northern Indiana in Lake, Porter, Pulaski, Starke County and more

CoAction offers interactive workshops that equip older adults and caregivers with tools to stay healthy, independent, and informed. From managing chronic conditions to fall prevention to caregiving strategies and healthy lifestyle habits, these sessions help promote wellness, confidence, and connection among older adults.

CoAction’s Senior Nutrition Program supports adults 60 and older with nutritious meals, education, and counseling—whether through home delivery or community dining. Serving over 300,000 meals annually, this program helps thousands of older adults stay healthy and nourished.
