Elder Care

Tip: Zoom in to see more

Elder Care Community Council of Franklin County, Inc.

Since August 2016, ECCC ("E Triple C") has been a bridge, connecting seniors to their community and to its system of support services.  Working from the Holy Family Senior Center in Apalachicola, the ECCC is staffed by several part-time cooks, many generous volunteers, and a Director who manages operations and coordinates with fellow members of an oversight Board for planning, funding, and direction. ECCC services are available to Franklin County seniors over age 60, and they have included:
  • hot lunches Monday through Friday, available for dining in the senior center or for delivery to the homebound
  • yoga classes for all skill levels (open to all ages)
  • social activities, especially for holidays
  • guest speakers, generally per health and wellness or specifically representing area services agencies
  • special events related to gardening and nature, art, music, dance, and games
  • outreach and advocacy, assessing needs and working to match them with available services
  • provision of laundry and cleaning supplies, fans, blankets
  • on a limited basis, respite care, handyperson support, and friendly visitor arrangements
  • local transportation services, such as to appointments
ECCC is funded in part by the City of Apalachicola, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, and the Area Agency on Aging of North Florida.  As well, they rely heavily upon proceeds from community-based fundraising and ad hoc charitable donations. To see ECCC in action, visit their FaceBook page, found as "Eccc - E Triple C".
