Senior Programs

NESCO provides opportunities for seniors to participate in a variety of activities, most of which highlight intergenerational, social, and educational functions. See the Golden Times for a complete listing of current events and programs. For more information call 243-5252 or contact pgraffin@nescoinc.org .

Foot Clinics

The Visiting Nurse Service and NESCO co-sponsor six clinics each month for individuals who cannot do their own foot care and do NOT have diabetes. All new clients are evaluated by a registered nurse. The fee is $10. To make an appointment or obtain more information, call  243-5252 or contact lkahite@nescoinc.org

Blood Pressure Screenings

This free service is offered once a month at Bashford Methodist Church and Warner Park Nutrition Sites prior to the 11:30 meal by a registered Nurse from Comfort Keepers. Call 243-5252 or contact pgraffin@nescoinc.org for more information.

Cultural Diversity Projects

This program works to increase social opportunities and health education to Madison's culturally diverse senior population.  Yolanda Salazar runs our programs for Madison's older Latinos and Naomi Carter organizes informational and support groups for Madison's African American seniors.  Transportation for a number of outings and trips is furnished to these seniors. For more information see The Golden Times, or call Naomi at 243-5252

Home Chore Program

The Volunteer Home Chore Program was developed in 1986 to assist frail, limited income senior adults with basic home chores to help them remain independent and living in their own homes. Community volunteers are matched with income-eligible seniors to provide light housekeeping, laundry, yard work, snow shoveling, and light repairs. Matches are made based both on the need of the senior adult and the interests and time constraints of the volunteers.  Call 243-5252 or contact Kryn at

khoyer-winfield@nescoinc.org for more details .
