We offer a wide array of services to older adults. Our goal is to help older adults live healthy, independent lives. Programs include nutrition/food programs, transportation, senior center activities, the healthy ideas program, and other information and assistance.

The IHSS Program will help pay for services provided to you so that you can remain safely in your own home. To be eligible, you must be over 65 years of age, or disabled, or blind.  Disabled children are also potentially eligible for IHSS.  IHSS is considered an alternative to out-of-home care, such as nursing homes or board and care facilities.
