Staff in the Aging and Adult Services Division assist older adults and those caring for them in remaining active, safe, independent, and in their own homes by exploring and seeking out goods, services, and in-home support they may need. Services are provided with grant funded programs and are referral based through the Elder Helpline 866.413.5337. Once a referral is received, staff will generally make home visits to discuss service needs and offer available options. Staff remain current and knowledgeable about a variety of programs and services not directly administered through the Human Services Department and are happy to provide information, assistance in making application, and guidance on those.
