The Paulding County Senior Center is following every effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The senior population is at higher risk of increased effects of the virus.
As of Monday, March 16, 2020, the Paulding County Commissioners and the Paulding County Emergency Management are requesting that all Paulding County Senior Center activities discontinue at the Center, 401 E. Jackson St., until April 6, 2020 unless extended by Governor DeWine.
Home Delivered meals will continue and be extended to include seniors who would normally come to the Dining Site but now need meal assistance. Grab and Go service will be offered along with increased frozen meals as an option.
Transportation to and from medical appointments will still be provided.
Grocery shopping services will be extended to include one-on-one shopping instead of group shopping and grocery pick up if needed.
The Center staff will be conducting routine checks by calling seniors who are now at home daily rather than coming to the center. Wellness checks are an important part of keeping the seniors safe and healthy.
The upcoming Health, Business and Industry fair that was scheduled for March 25th has been postponed until May 8th at the Extension Office.
If any senior or caregiver has a concern please call 419-399-3650 for assistance. Together we can get through this difficult situation and continue to provide for those in need.
