Resources for Seniors

Seniors who have lost homes or had property damage can find someone to assist them through the process of recovery by calling:

  • Sonoma County Human Services Department’s Adult and Aging Division, 707-565-5900
  • Council on Aging, 707-525-0143

Seniors can get help to navigate recovery paperwork, arrange transportation to recovery services offices, medical appointments, and other places, find warm nutritious meals or food at home, or get caregiving help for day-to-day needs.

Housing

For help with housing, SHARE Sonoma County, in partnership with Petaluma People Services Center, offers a Home-Sharing Program for those 60 years and older. SHARE helps facilitate and screen safe home shares for seniors, including those needing basic assistance (service in exchange). http://petalumapeople.org/seniors/share-sonoma-county/ Call 707-765-8488.

Home-Sharing is a living arrangement of two or more unrelated people who share a home or apartment for their mutual benefit.  Each person has their own bedroom and possibly bathroom, but shares common living areas.
