Life Community Resources

Life Community Resources has many services for both seniors and other people in the community, and there are places and programs you don't see at every center; for example, there's help for folks facing abuse, neglect, and exploitation, along with addiction treatment services from Henrico Area Mental Health and The Fix Ministry, and if someone needs daytime care, Hanover Adult Center, Riggins Day Support, Seniors' 1st Choice, and Faith Works Adult Day Support Center offer adult day care, and for people needing help with their cars, Mechanics of Faith and the Proclaiming Grace Outreach GO! Auto program give car repair options, and there's a bunch of services for children and youth-like help with FAMIS and Medicaid enrollment, Thrive Virginia Healthy Families program, developmental delay checks, and youth support for emotional issues, while families and folks in need of basic things can find clothing and housewares at Cornerstone Thrift, The Fix Thrift, and Proclaiming Grace Outreach Thrift. Dental care comes from organizations like Lackey Clinic, VCU Dental School, Christian Dental Clinic, and Charles City Regional Health Services, and there's support for those with disabilities, including help enrolling in Medicaid, plus several domestic violence crisis hotlines, such as Thrive Virginia Hotline and others. Community members can get help when applying for assistance programs like CalFresh, Medi-Cal, or food support, and there are Family Resource Centers that help with applications for CalWORKS, MediCal, and Food Stamps. Food assistance is pretty strong too, and Eat City Heights distributes produce at cost and takes EBT and WIC checks, and the WIC programs give extra support for pregnant women, babies, and children through healthy food vouchers, nutrition talks, breastfeeding support, and community referrals. Emergency and extra food comes from North County Food Bank, San Diego Food Bank, and partners, and during summer, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) gives out free food to children, with Western Eagle Foundation's Project Food Box giving out food boxes that feed a family of four for a week for a small fee. Programs like the Healthy Driver Initiative and Safe Cab help with transportation needs, and there's strong advocacy for hunger and nutrition throughout San Diego County. For folks with a religious lean, they offer volunteer chances for believers to serve as "the hands and feet of Jesus," and short-term Connect Groups last 6-8 weeks and give people a place for faith and study, along with support for military families during hard transitions. There's also a whole list of care options for seniors-A Touch Of Love Personal Care And Consulting LLC gives tailored care, and healthcare organizations like Aetna Health Inc and AMGP Georgia Managed Care Company, Inc work out of the community, while ACTI-KARE IN HOME RESPONSIVE CARE and Apple A Day Homecare, LLC serve those needing private help at home, and there are multiple outpatient surgery centers, rehab services, end stage renal dialysis clinics, mental health agencies, and substance abuse treatment centers like Access Mental Health Agency and Alana Recovery Centers, LLC. Adult day centers like Addington Place of Alpharetta ADC are part of the mix, and there are ambulatories, hospices, and assisted living communities, including Addington Place at Alpharetta, Arbor Terrace at Casscade, and others. Board and care homes set up in neighborhoods house a small group of folks, and there are continuing care retirement communities where seniors can age in place, moving from independent living to full nursing care without leaving the campus, and there's a strong focus on helping with daily activities, medication, meals, and personal support, with licensed memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia offering secure and supportive environments, and for active seniors, maintenance-free lifestyle communities come with social activities and optional help when needed. Names like Country Air Villa II, Country Gardens Senior Living, Christian City Assisted Living Center, PruittHealth - Fairburn, Masalon's Personal Care Home East, Providence Home at Deep Creek Cove, and Yellow Brick Road Personal Care Home are included in the many options, and while there's everything from skilled nursing with round-the-clock care to help with meals or just needing a place to feel safe, it seems like Life Community Resources tries to cover what many different people might need, from food all the way to faith, and from dental help to end of life care, all in one place that tries to hold the community together.
