Reuther Older Adult and Wellness Services
Reuther Older Adult and Wellness Services (Reuther)
(est. 1953) was founded by the United Automobile Workers
as a social program to meet the needs of all retired men and
women. After more than 55 years of services to tens of thousands
of older adults, Reuther continues to promote physical and
mental well-being, and financial stability for vulnerable
low-income seniors.
Clients' basic needs are met by proven case management interventions
that provide food, in-home services of homemaking, personal
care and chores, as well as medical transportation, and access
to vital self-sufficiency supports, Reuther is extending the
ability to live independently for our at risk elders.

Reuther provides a critical social support system directed
at maintaining and improving the quality of life for the community’s
older adults by reducing isolation and promoting independence.
A wide array of programs and services assist them in living
independently in their own homes as long as possible.
