Wyoming County Office for the Aging reports service levels; grocery shuttle to end
Summary
At the June 3 Human Services Committee meeting, the Office for the Aging reported program metrics — including 311 active Home Delivered Meals participants — and said the Perry Grocery Shuttle contract will end July 1 because of low ridership.
At the June 3 Human Services Committee meeting, T. Phillips of the Wyoming County Office for the Aging reported program statistics showing continued demand for elder supports and flagged a scheduled service change. "HDM (Home Delivered Meals) ~ 311 active participants with 262 meals being served today," the Office for the Aging reported, reflecting daily meal delivery volume.
Phillips also listed other program metrics: EISEP had roughly 59 participants (53 active), Alzheimer caregiver services were serving 65 families, and congregate meal sites reported average daily attendance that varied by location (e.g., Pine Lounge, Cowlesville ~55/day). Committee members noted those operational figures as context for budgeting and county outreach.
The Office for the Aging reviewed ridership on the Perry Grocery Shuttle (Dec. 2025–May 2026) and recorded steep declines in usage. The minutes state the shuttle contract will end July 1, 2026, "due to low ridership." Committee members discussed related budget items including a proposed GIS license for the 2027 budget and plans for a Senior Connections event in Attica later in the year.
The committee did not record additional direction beyond acceptance of the report; members said they will consider the staffing and budget implications during upcoming budget discussions.
