Resources for Waynesboro, Virginia Seniors & Caregivers
A wide range of resources and services for a wide range of needs...
One thing is for certain - There's no such thing as a "typical" Waynesboro senior. The WSAC recognizes that the needs and goals of Waynesboro older adults vary widely. Modern-day seniors are capable of living vibrant, full, and healthy lives. We also understand that older adults may face challenges along the way such as health setbacks or financial concerns. The WSAC aims to help connect Waynesboro seniors and caregivers to the resources available within our community.
Our Senior Resources Page offers a broad spectrum of services and assistance - From volunteer opportunities for active seniors to respite care for those with dementia or Azheimer's dieseas. Please check back often as we continue to add to our Senior Resources List.
Feel free to email the WSAC if you'd like for your organization listed on the WSAC's Waynesboro Senior Resources Page.
