Love Inc has hit hard financial times, and as a result, we are no longer accepting new clients, but we continue to assist the clientele that we have had enrolled prior to these economic difficutlies. Many do not know that Love Inc is an all volunteer organization; There are no salaries paid to any staff, and all services are free to our seniors.
We do ask that you give us a call for any requests for assistance; we are always happy to give you referrals for community services. We hope to eventually be able to accept new clients once again. All of our programs are supported solely through donations, fundraisers, and our volunteers.
Love Inc. provides personal services including companion care, in-home respite care, family support, and other programs and activities. All services are designed toward meeting the individual's needs. Our programs specifically encourage elders to remain at home in their communities, or support their families caring for them at home. You can help too>>
Our Services
- Adopt-a-Grandparent: Our goal is to pair a volunteer with a senior citizen who is in need of either assistance or companionship. This is for very serious volunteers only.
- Companionship Services: We will come to your home and sit with you, read to you, play checkers, or whatever passes the time.
- Respite Services: We will come and relieve the caretaker for small periods of time for a much needed time away.
- Family Support - We assist families with the anguish and uncertainty having to adjust and/or alter their living situations; i.e. from home to a Board and Care, Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing Home.
Life Energizing Programs
- Arts & Crafts: We will set this up in Assisted Living Houses or small groups.
- Saturday Surprise: Also at the Savannah House on the 2nd and 4th Saturday's of each moth, from 1-2:30 pm. You never know what we will do, from Bunco to cards, Horse races to Ice Cream Socials.
- Sit n Fit with Annie: 10:00am Alternate Saturdays at Savannah House on James Island. Gentle exercise and breathing techniques while sitting in a chair.
- Music 'round Town: We play guitars and sing old time favorites all over - Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley, James Island, even Hollywood. We are always looking for others to join!
