Eldridge is being honored for her community service, including her work at the Norco Seniors and Pets Relief Fund.
The Salute to Senior Service program was launched this year by the Home Instead Senior Care network to honor seniors’ commitments to their causes and communities. As one of 50 state winners, Eldridge earned a spot in the Salute to Senior Service Wall of Fame on the SalutetoSeniorService.com website, where her nomination story is posted.
In her work with the Norco Seniors and Pets Relief Fund, Eldridge spends hours each day loading her truck with food and supplies for seniors and their pets.
“Rose is a valued member of the community and a senior hero to many,” said Jeff Huber, president and chief operating officer of Home Instead, Inc., which provides non-medical in-home care services for seniors. “She has shown that volunteer opportunities for older adults should not diminish because of age. Seniors such as Rose are making important contributions to their communities through charities, nonprofit organizations and faith communities.”
Kim Hicken, general manager for Home Instead Senior Care in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, also applauded Eldridge.
“We encourage aging adults to stay active in their community to address the needs of others along with keeping their mind, body and soul activity,” Hicken said. “Volunteering starts at a young age and can continue throughout your entire life. Rose is a wonderful example.”
As a state winner, Eldridge was considered for the national Salute to Senior Service award.
