Our agency helps more than 30,000 people each year with meals, transportation, in-home care, housing, caregiver support, guardianship, information, referrals and much more. See our Agency Brochure (Spanish version available as well) or our one page Agency Flyer for more information.

We also have several advisory councils, including the LifeStream/Quality Housing Development Advisory Council, which provide added insight in meeting the needs of our clients in East Central Indiana and beyond.
Our staff includes nearly 113 full- and part-time professionals who are all devoted to our mission of improving the lives of people at risk of losing their independence. (See our Leadership Team information below.)
