Seniors at home: comfortable, connected, empowered, safe.

Southeast Seniors is a non-profit organization of health care professionals and neighbors helping people 65 and older remain independent and safe at home. 

Sometimes, it is just a simple task that needs doing or some resources that would make a difference. Growing older is much easier and safer when you have the support you need to live well at home.

We have professional staff and volunteers here to support you:

• an Outreach Nurse on staff who can visit and assess nursing needs of clients,
• a Social Worker who can coordinate services and provide resources, help complete forms/waivers for services and supports, 
• and many volunteers who provide transportation, companionship, and other services to support people 65 and older in the community.

​If you need support at home, know someone who needs support, or want to volunteer, please give us a call
​at 612-331-2302.

Oral History Project

​As part of the 30th Anniversary celebration of Southeast Seniors, 10 volunteers from Marcy Holmes, Prospect Park, and Southeast Como collected stories about community life from 15 residents who were 65 or older. ​
