Piedmont Senior Resources asks for increased county support as services expand

Buckingham County Board of Supervisors · February 11, 2025

Summary

Piedmont Senior Resources (PSR) reported regional service growth, national awards, and a new revenue contract; CEO Justine Young and Becky Carter asked the board for a county funding increase tied to senior population growth to support home‑delivered meals, transportation and other programs.

"I'm Justine Young, CEO of Piedmont Senior Resources," Young told the board, describing PSR's expansion to provide health assessments under a new contract with Ground Game Health and reporting 3,435 clients served across a seven‑county region last year, including 503 clients in Buckingham. She said the new business line will produce revenue to support programs that are not fully covered by state or federal funds.

Becky Carter, PSR assistant finance manager, highlighted program outcomes and detailed assistance given last winter (e.g., fuel and emergency assistance), and quantified increases in services — including a 24% increase in the farmers market nutrition program and more home‑delivered meals and transportation trips. PSR asked the board for "700 some dollars more" in county support based on senior population growth; the board thanked the presenters and accepted the materials for review.
