Coalition of Agencies in Service to the Elderly - C.A.S.E.
c.a.s.e. is a group of agencies,
organizations and individuals whose
mission is to provide community
resource education and networking
opportunities to enhance services
for the aging in Niagara County.
Established in 1985, the focus of
c.a.s.e. was to provide educational
forums across the county that
served as vehicles for networking,
information and referral. It became
apparent from these forums that
transportation was a major concern
of older adults. c.a.s.e. members
conducted a survey in 1989 that
indicated the need for consolidated,
concise information about available
transportation services in Niagara
County. As a result, a transportation
directory was created that is
periodically updated.
In 1990, c.a.s.e. sponsored its first networking conference. The conference has become an annual event that provides current information regarding issues affecting older adults. It also acts as an opportunity for service providers to meet and share ideas.
