OUR WORK

From the beginning, VOANS has understood the power of housing as a foundation for a stable life.

VOANS serves a wide variety of clients facing challenges due to income, age, physical or mental disability, with a special focus on seniors. The dramatic projected increase in the number of older adults in the United States who are living longer with fewer resources, coupled with the emergence of managed healthcare, has created a demand for providers that can efficiently and skillfully integrate affordable housing, healthcare and other supportive services.

VOANS is one of the few organizations with a proven track record in both serviced enriched affordable housing and senior care

Resident Services

Service Coordination Program

Volunteers of America National Services (VOANS) specializes in enhancing the quality of life of seniors living in affordable housing. One of our foremost housing objectives is to enable our seniors to “age in place” by providing services that will assist them with remaining in their homes as long as possible.

VOANS serves more than 9,000 senior residents in our service coordinator programs.
Nationally, we employ 140 service coordinators at our properties.
Our rigorous data collection and evaluation procedures indicate that 98 percent of the residents at our properties consult with their service coordinators regularly.

Our service coordinators help to connect residents with a wide variety of services, including “benefits check-ups,” health services, meal programs, social activities, exercise, educational opportunities, and transportation services.

Through the service coordination program, VOANS has taken a preventive approach by identifying and engaging frail residents in services before their problems turn into crises. The service coordinator program promotes activities that enhance a resident’s quality of life and build healthy communities through the active participation and cooperation of on-site management, local agencies, and residents.

32,000+ Served Yearly

Residents are the heart of the VOANS mission, and each year, VOANS has the privilege of serving thousands of individuals and families through housing, health, workforce, and other programs.

Health Care Services

We are a major provider of professional long-term nursing care for older adults and others coping with illness or injury. We offer a continuum of services in our senior living and care communities that extends to people with disabilities, and includes long-term health support: nursing care, assisted living, memory support, home health care, rehabilitation and much more.

Senior Living Communities

Senior services and care as distinct as the individuals we serve.

For us, independent living and senior care are more than nursing assistance or apartment home choices. Active adult care is a philosophy that guides every interaction as we support the whole health of the person – physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. We love being part of the amazing lives of those we served. Whether you need assistance at home or want to join a vibrant senior living community, we have the skills, expertise, and dedication it takes to help everyone live the life that makes them happiest.

PACE Program

The Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) model is centered on the belief that the well-being of seniors with chronic care needs and their families are better served in the community. Together, we are helping seniors to remain living in their home whenever possible.
