County Agencies

SeniorNavigator is a national model for aging and disability resources, bringing over 21,000 health and aging resources to seniors, caregivers, adults with disabilities and their families. SeniorNavigator is a public/private partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia Department for the Aging, local governments, and hundreds of private sector partners. Valuable information on health, legal and financial issues, housing, long-term care, transportation, caregiving, aging, and community in all Virginia localities can be found ‘at the click of a mouse’! www.seniornavigator.org is the website name. Hollin Hall’s computer lab (Room 215) is in the process of dedicating a portion of the large bulletin board to this resource as well as a compilation of useful articles in a handy binder. See Patti Bruch, Assistant Director for more information or assistance on the computer with this website.

Meals on Wheels/Nutritional Supplement

One of the primary objectives of the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is to promote independent living for senior residents of Fairfax County and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church (referred to as the Fairfax area). The Home-Delivered Meals (Meals on Wheels) and Nutritional Supplement programs help older adults and adults with disabilities remain at home while they are recovering from surgery or other short-term medical problems and help those with long-term chronic illnesses avoid or delay institutionalization. A friend, relative, nurse, doctor or social worker may call the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging at 703-324-7948 in order to make a referral to either program. Inquire at Hollin Hall and we will put you in touch with the proper resources.
