Local Organizations in Brazoria County. Help the Elderly


My father-in-law has been diagnosed with terminal esophageal cancer. Because is unable to live alone, he has been moved to our home for the duration of his illness. My husband and I have recently discovered many non-profit organizations in the Brazoria County area. One such agency is ActionS, Inc. of Brazoria County.
They cater to individuals 60+ and provide nutritional meals, respite care, medical transportation, and senior citizens centers. They have provided much needed basic life activity support such as bathing, feeding and transportation to and from medical appointments. During an extremely difficult and stressful time in our lives, ActionS, Inc has provided a method of intervention and support that is priceless.
As stated by the Director, Lee Ann Davenport, “We recognize the complex needs of our seniors. ActionS was created to help alleviate some of the burden the local families encounter caring for elderly loved ones.”
