Thrive Alliance

As a member of INconnect Alliance, a statewide network of Indiana’s 16 Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC), we are a one-stop resource center for information about programs and services available to older adults, people with disabilities, or their caregivers. With access to a comprehensive network of resources, the Options Counselors in our ADRC can connect those seeking information and assistance to Thrive Alliance services or to other community resource options.

Indiana’s First Steps system is a family-centered, locally-based, coordinated system that provides early intervention services to infants and young children who may have developmental delays or who have a diagnosed mental or physical condition that has a high probability of resulting in developmental delays. First Steps brings together families and professionals from education, health, and social service agencies. By coordinating locally available services, First Steps is working to give Indiana’s children and their families the widest possible array of early intervention services.

Thrive Alliance (through Housing Partnerships, Inc.) has been providing high-quality affordable housing opportunities in the area for more than 30 years.

It also helps ensure vibrant, equitable neighborhoods and communities for all residents.

We have developed more than 550 affordable homes throughout the region.

The Senior Nutrition program provides nutrition for both the physical body and the entire person. We provide a comprehensive meal service that increases the well-being of participants by serving meals that contain nutrition and aging adult needs to sustain health and wellness.

Our meal sites also provide educational topics and activities that promote the physical, economic, mental, social, and physiological well-being of the participants. Each month there is a different health and nutrition topic that is covered, which correlates to the health and well-being of older adults. We also provide opportunities for socialization through a variety of activities. While the exact schedule varies at each site, there are activities such as games, bingo, conversation and health checks.
