How much does service cost?
Fees for service are determined using a sliding scale based on household income. Neighbors in Action
is committed to serving all older and disabled adults regardless of their financial situation and will
never refuse service because of inability to pay. The NIA coordinator will meet with you individually
and a fee will be agreed upon before services are provided. Fees make up a small portion of our
annual budget. We gratefully accept tax-deductible gifts that help ensure our ability to provide services.
