About
AGING AND IN HOME SERVICES IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO ASSIST THEMSELVES IN ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING AND TO MAKE AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A SAFE, HEALTHLY HOME ENVIRONMENT. HOME VISITS ARE MADE TO CLIENTS TO ASSESS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABILITY AS WELL AS THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION. THROUGH A SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF CARE, APPROPRIATE SERVICES ARE RECOMMENDED AND BROKERED THROUGH A VARIETY OF HOME CARE SERVICE PROVIDERS.

THIS OPPORTUNITY ALLOWS THE INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR FAMILY TO MAKE A MORE INFORMED DECISION REGARDING THEIR OPTIONS, AS WELL AS TO PREVENT INAPPROPRIATE PLACEMENT. THE SENIOR NUTRITION PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT OF FELLOWSHIP AND FUND FOR SENIORS IN OUR AREA. PROGRAM ACTIVITIES ARE PROVIDED AT THE CONGREGATE SITES AND VARIOUS AGENDAS OF INTEREST ARE SHARED WITH THE PARTICIPANTS.
