Elder Services Programs
Family Caregiver Support Program
The Caregiver Program at Elder Services is designed to support caregivers through information,
advocacy, and education. The primary goal of the program is to connect caregivers to existing
community services that meet their needs, and support the needs of their care recipients.
Intake and Referral (I & R)
The I & R staff provides information and facilitates service
for seniors and those (families, friends, other agencies) concerned
with the welfare of seniors. Each call to I & R is assessed
to ascertain how Elder Services or other community resources might
best be used to provide needed assistance.
Case Management
Case Managers assess the needs of seniors, identify problem areas
and develop a service plan which will enable them to remain secure
and independent in their own homes. Services authorized by Case
Managers include:
- Homemaking
- Personal Care
- Chore
- Transportation
- Social Day Care
- Adult Day Health
- Respite
- Emergency Shelter
Nutrition
Elder Services provides nutritionally sound meals and the opportunity
for socialization at many congregate meal sites throughout the
service area.
The MEALS ON WHEELS program provides meals to home bound elders.
Coordination of Care
The Health Coordination Unit works with Case Managers to access
health resources for frail elders. The unit also conducts formal
'screenings' to determine eligibility for nursing
home admission or participation in Adult Day Health programs.
Protective Services
The purpose of Protective Services is to prevent, eliminate or
remedy situations involving physical and/or psychological abuse,
neglect or financial exploitation of the elderly.
Senior Employment and Volunteers
Elder Services maintains the capability to provide seniors with
meaningful employment and volunteer opportunities in service to
the community and elderly service network.
