The Piedmont Agency on Aging

The Piedmont Agency on Aging is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping seniors maintain independence in Greenwood, Abbeville, Laurens, and Saluda counties. Their services include Meals on Wheels, congregate meals, and transportation. Meals are nutritionally approved by a dietician, catering to various dietary needs. The agency also organizes activities like guest speakers and crafts to engage the senior community. Funding comes from multiple sources, and no one is denied services due to inability to pay.

The agency provides Meals on Wheels with options like regular, diabetic, ground meat, pureed, and no added salt diets. Each meal meets 1/3 of the Recommended Daily Allowance. Congregate meals and activities such as guest speakers, Bible studies, and crafts are offered. Transportation services assist seniors with medical appointments and errands. Volunteers play a key role in meal delivery and other services.

The Piedmont Agency on Aging operates in Clinton, SC, with additional locations in Greenwood, Abbeville, Laurens, and Saluda counties. Services are funded by federal, state, and local sources, supplemented by donations. Contact the agency for specific hours and eligibility details. Transportation is available with advance notice, and volunteers are always needed for various roles.
