More than 100 Services for the Elderly clients and attendants enjoyed the annual Christmas party.  There was plenty of food and drink, beautiful music from singer/songwriter Sara Hickman, games, performances from dance group Salsa Candela, and photos with Santa – the highlight of the event!

Thanks to all our sponsors for their generosity in underwriting the Christmas party and to the businesses and individuals who “adopted” a client for the holidays:

About Services for the Elderly

Our mission is enhancing the dignity and independence of the elderly and disabled by providing compassionate, quality non-medical in-home care.

As our population ages, there is an increasing need for in-home help.  For over 30 years, SFTE has provided affordable, quality care to residents of Travis County and portions of Hays and Williamson counties when they are beginning to have trouble keeping up with the tasks of everyday life.  We serve the elderly and disabled and women who are recovering from breast cancer surgery or chemo or radiation therapy.  We also help family members locate resources needed by their aging parents.  We provide employment opportunities for dependable, caring people who enjoy helping older or disabled people.  As a non-profit, we provide these services with the help of generous assistance from the community. 

Personal assistance services can help clients maintain a high quality of life. Sometimes all that is needed is help with tasks that require lifting, such as laundry, or bending, such as mopping floors. Our services and schedules are tailored to individual needs.

Because we are a non-profit, our fees are lower than those of other licensed providers of personal assistance services in Travis County. There is no charge for an in-home assessment. Call our Independent Care Coordinator at (512) 477-3796 ext. 209.
