A: Please contact Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley directly at 610-691-1030. They can provide information about meal delivery, eligibility, enrollment, and other services they offer. (Meals On Wheels)
A: Contact your local Area Agency on Aging to discuss available programs and whether you may qualify for assistance. Depending on your situation, there may be programs that can help with services that allow an older adult to remain safely at home.
A: You can request a LVAIP Resource Guide by completing our online inquiry form or leaving us a detailed voicemail. Please include your name, mailing address, phone number, and what type of resources you are looking for. We will work to get a resource guide to you.

A: If your need is urgent or you are experiencing an emergency, do not wait for a response from LVAIP. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging or the appropriate emergency service directly. For immediate danger, call 911. For non-emergency assistance, please complete the Senior Safety Net Fund application. Be sure to include all documentation requested with your application and follow the instructions provided regarding where and how to submit your paperwork. The Senior Safety Net Fund is intended to help older adults with qualifying needs when they have limited resources and may not qualify for other assistance.
A: LVAIP does not provide ongoing financial assistance or pay for routine services. However, our Senior Safety Net Fund may be able to assist with certain non-emergency needs for eligible older adults. Please complete the application and provide all requested documentation so your request can be reviewed. If you have an emergency or urgent need, please contact your local Area Agency on Aging or the appropriate emergency service directly rather than waiting for LVAIP to respond.
A: Yes. We understand that navigating senior services can be overwhelming. For non-emergency questions, start by completing our online inquiry form or leaving us a detailed voicemail. Please tell us what is happening, where the older adult lives, and what type of help you are looking for. We can help point you toward appropriate resources and organizations. If the situation is urgent or an emergency, please contact your local Area Agency on Aging or call 911 when immediate assistance is needed.
A: LVAIP is a community resource organization and does not directly provide most senior care services. Our role is to help families connect with organizations and professionals that can provide the appropriate services. Our Resource Guide and Online Directory are good places to start.

A: That’s okay. For non-emergency needs, start with us. Complete our online inquiry form or leave a detailed voicemail with your name, phone number, address, and a brief description of what you need help with. We will do our best to point you in the right direction. If the issue is urgent or an emergency, do not wait for LVAIP to respond. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging for urgent aging-related services. For immediate danger or a medical emergency, call 911.
A: LVAIP is supported by a board made up of volunteers who generously donate their time. Because our board members balance their volunteer responsibilities with work, family, and other commitments, it may take some time for someone to respond. Please do not contact LVAIP for emergencies or urgent issues. If you need immediate assistance, contact your local Area Agency on Aging or the appropriate emergency service directly. For immediate danger or a medical emergency, call 911. For non-emergency questions and resource requests, we appreciate your patience and will get back to you as soon as possible.
