“It is a much needed service in the community and we are glad that Goodwill Easterseals Miami Valley is able to offer this person-centered service for seniors trying to live independently in the area,” Bonifas said. “The Senior Adult Services offer a safe, caring home-away-from-home program for seniors who want to maintain their independence at home and in the community.”
