Help Around the House

Some tasks become harder as we age, but our community steps up to get the job done. Our volunteers can help with things like changing lightbulbs, shoveling snow, yardwork, home maintenance, walking pets and cleaning projects. As a member you can submit requests through our online portal and a volunteer will contact you to arrange a time to come by - it’s that simple! This service is free for our members.

Transportation

Our remote location and rural setting can limit transportation options for older adults. If you need a ride somewhere our friendly volunteers are ready to get you to and from wherever you need to go for free.

Educational Programs

Our enriching, donation-based programs offer the chance to explore new hobbies, learn new things and connect with others. You can go bird watching with experts, learn about ecology from naturalists, take a cooking class, learn CPR and more with our educational program options!

Strength & Balance

Accidental falls are one of the biggest reasons that older adults must leave their homes as they age. We offer a variety of strength and balance classes to suit your needs and help you stay vertical.

Preparedness & Planning

Our advanced care and estate planning seminars support the transitions of aging so that older adults & their families can make decisions from a place of knowledge and choice, not crisis.

Dementia Arts Program

Our Creative Aging program allows for people living with dementia to express themselves through art projects, while their caregivers take a break from caregiving in a nearby room. This enriching experience holds tremendous potential for reducing isolation, increasing cognitive, social, and creative engagement while improving overall quality of life.

Social Clubs

Our members have the interest and passion, we provide the organization and coordination! Our social clubs include a men’s gathering at a local pub, sewing circle, Spanish conversation group, sports & games groups and a monthly lunch outing. These events are great ways to connect with others, pursue interests and learn something new!

The Lookout Coalition

This program offers a personal approach during difficult health challenges. Anyone in the Methow Valley (not just Methow At Home members) can receive help from the Lookout Coalition. Our volunteers have diverse clinical experience and will come to your home to offer guidance, support and help connect people with resources to navigate health issues, including end of life support — Learn More.

Inclusive Community

Methow At Home recognizes that feeling supported through the transitions of aging requires more than programs to decrease loneliness and isolation. Cultivating an authentic, inclusive and vibrant community is the heart of what we do.
