Who We Are
TRAIL of Johnson County, an IRC Sec. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was formed when two groups of Iowa City-area neighbors and friends, who are at or near retirement age, discovered their shared interest in aging in place. Rather than moving to traditional senior-living facilities, we prefer to continue living in our own homes.
But we recognize that along the way, we'll benefit from being part of a community that can offer many forms of support. And that’s how TRAIL was born.
What We Do
TRAIL volunteers are essential to our success. Volunteers assist our members in a variety of important ways, all of which are helping older Johnson County adults age more securely in their own homes:
- Home services, such as simple repairs, errands, and outdoor chores
- Transportation to and from appointments, meetings, or shopping
- Medical advocacy, i.e., accompanying members to doctor’s appointments, asking questions, and recording instructions
- The Rise and Shine program for members who desire daily contact with TRAIL
- Helping to organize and staff social, cultural and educational programming to help TRAIL members make new friends, explore their interests, and remain active and engaged in our community
- Providing organizational leadership by serving on our Board of Directors or on one of our Board committees.
