ElderCare Inc. was recently voted the 2021 third-quarter recipient of approximately $10,000 in charitable donations from members of the 100+ People Who Care in Barton County group.

The philanthropic group heard three presentations from local charities during its meeting on Aug. 10, and ElderCare was voted the winner. 

Established in 1994, ElderCare was created with the mission of supporting and providing in-home services to older adults. These services can include care management plans, personal hygiene care, housekeeping and shopping assistance, medication and nutrition management, respite care and wellness checks, agency officials said. 

All services are designed to help seniors safely maintain as much independence as possible, while providing the appropriate in-home assistance and companionship. ElderCare also administers the Friendship Meals program, delivering to homebound individuals and serving at community dining sites. 

The quarterly pledges of the 100+ People Who Care Members will allow ElderCare to continue to provide these valuable services to seniors on a sliding fee scale, agency officials said. To learn more about ElderCare Inc., visit www.eldercareks.org and follow them on Facebook.

The next giving meeting for the 100+ People Who Care group will be held at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 9, at the Best Western Angus Inn Courtyard.  

At that time, representatives from ElderCare will return to provide an update on how the organization is utilizing the $10,000 gift. Members will also vote to select and nominate local, charitable organizations to receive future funds.
