East Side Elders’ Programs
About Us
East Side Elders (formerly Dayton’s Bluff Seniors) is a community program dedicated to supporting older adults on the East Side, helping them to remain in their own homes. Our mission is to create a circle of care around the elders in Dayton’s Bluff, Payne-Phalen, and Conway-Battle Creek neighborhoods, empowering seniors to live safe and independent lives in their homes. To sign up for any of our programs or to learn more, give us a call at 763-325-3473 or 651-335-8840.
Donation Based
Our services are donation-based. Clients are welcome to contribute what they can, if they can, and nobody is ever turned away if they can’t make a contribution.
