AGING IS LIVING. How we think and feel about aging influences how we feel about getting older.  When you give to Pro Seniors, you help older Ohioans understand and exercise their rights, avoid fraud and scams, and improve their economic, emotional and physical stability.

Founded in 1975, Pro Seniors champions the rights, dignity and access to justice of older Ohioan's by providing the following services at no cost to our clients: 

  • Legal Helpline attorneys provide legal information and advice to Ohio residents age 60 and over. Our staff attorneys help local seniors resolve problems with Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans benefits, Social Security and more. Our Mid-America Pension Rights Project helps people in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Tennessee to solve issues with their pensions.
  • Long-Term Care Ombudsman staff and volunteers empower and advocate for the rights of people using long-term care services and supports, including nursing homes, assisted living, adult care homes and home health care. Ombudsmen educate, empower and work with residents to resolve concerns.
  • Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) trains Medicare beneficiaries as Fraud Fighters to help Ohio seniors recognize and avoid healthcare fraud, identity theft and scams.

We believe that Every Age Matters. Annually we celebrate Seniors Who Rock, challenging ageism by recognizing our honorees for their continuing service to improve our community, add their own vibrancy and motivate others.

As Dimity Orlet said in her remarks at Seniors Who Rock, "Aging is living, and don't we all want to make the most of the lives we are given?" 

Enjoy these inspiring words from our 2022 honorees: Carrie Caldwell (at 18:08), James Lawrence, J.D. (at 24:05), Reverend Damon Lynch, Jr. (at 34:15), and Sister Delia (Dee) Sizler, Sister of Charity (at 42:14). Pictured here with Dimity Orlet, J.D., Executive Director of Pro Seniors.  Please share your #SeniorsWhoRock experiences on your favorite social media.
