SANDOVAL COUNTY:
(505) 867-7535

The Sandoval County Senior Program provides a continuum of social support and health services to meet the needs of older individuals and maximize their independence, so they can live on their own terms in their own communities.

The Sandoval County Senior Program is dedicated to improving the quality of life of its citizens by providing access to culturally sensitive and comprehensive health and social services. Sandoval County has been operating the Senior Program for over 20 years.

The Senior Program is comprised of six senior centers, one meal site, a transportation program, a Frail and Elderly Program and a volunteer program. The program provides countywide services from locations in Rio Rancho, Corrales, Placitas, Bernalillo, Peña Blanca, Jemez and Cuba. The following services are provided to seniors daily:

  • Congregate meals;
  • Home-delivered meals;
  • Transportation;
  • Enhanced fitness;
  • Case management services;
  • Caregiver respite services; and
  • Homemaker services.

Learn more about the Sandoval County programs, senior centers and other services:

  • Retired Senior Volunteer Program;
  • Senior Companion & Foster Grandparents Program;
  • Senior Employment Program;
  • Senior centers;
  • Peña Blanca Community Center
  • Frail and Elderly Program;
  • Senior Volunteer Program; and
  • Assisted Transportation.

These services can be accessed through self-referral, family referral, agency referral and/or other referral sources. A senior is registered into the program through an assessment conducted by program staff that determines the status and needs of the senior.

Re-assessments are conducted on an annual basis or sooner if the senior has a life-changing event. Home-bound seniors are re-assessed every six months and at every life change.

Sandoval County does not charge for services, but donations are always appreciated. All donations go back into the senior services program.

Seniors are never denied service based on whether they make a donation. To obtain services, seniors must first complete a state-mandated assessment.

The Sandoval County Senior Program Advisory Council meets quarterly. A schedule and location of the meetings can be obtained by calling (505) 867-7535.
