Do you know someone who is homebound, or at risk for poor nutrition? Or maybe someone feels isolated, and interaction with others could help them live a more meaningful life? Click the Senior Centers link to the left and a list of senior centers and their contact information is available right away!

Perhaps you are a caregiver and need time to take a break for a short time? Or maybe you or your loved one needs help with managing their activities of daily living? Click the Home Care link or Caregiver Resources to see that we offer a Respite program for Caregivers, and personalized In-Home Care to help seniors remain independent.

Are you having difficulty working with a nursing home or an assisted living facility? Contact us and let our Ombudsman work with you and the facility.
