About Us

We did this as we experienced the increasing need for our services and as we have grown to meet those needs. Besides the Raleigh County Senior Center on Kanawha Street we have sites in the communities of Coal City and Glen Daniel, as well as nutrition services at Wildwood House and Manor House senior apartment complexes in Beckley. This agency is committed to improving the lives of our senior citizens by providing them with opportunities to meet their needs, to enhance their life style and to assist them in anything necessary to make their lives as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible.

The Raleigh County Commission on Aging is a non-profit organization managed by a volunteer Board of Directors. They are individuals from throughout our community comprised of leaders from the state and local governments, professional services, local businesses, religious organizations, participants in receiving services, and the public at large. The credibility of their reputation and the thoroughness of their oversight is directly responsible for the success and the stability of the Commission on Aging. Our appreciation goes out to each of these individuals for their commitment, their professionalism, their knowledge and their compassion. They are truly an exceptional group of leaders.

Health and wellness encompasses everything we do. When senior citizens become a part of the Commission on Aging they experience that. We can provide personal care in their own homes by trained and certified Homemakers. We provide nutritious meals, safe transportation, physical fitness activities and opportunities to be a part of our community. We serve the senior citizens of Raleigh County and, for our In Home Care customers, those in seven other contiguous counties in southern West Virginia.

The Commission on Aging is providing services to seniors, employment to the workforce, leadership in the community and a credible voice for our industry. Please take a moment, if you have not already, to view the video in the collage of pictures on this page to see and hear the testimonies of our seniors and staff, and the stories they have to tell. It is worth the few minutes it takes. Afterward you will have a much better understanding of what the Commission on Aging is about.
