In-Home services are critical in helping Older Adults to continue to live safely in their own homes.  These services provide assistance with activities of daily living for Older Adults who may have difficulty with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and housekeeping. 

Local senior centers are focal points for providing these daily, nutritionally-balanced meals. Meals are offered to adults aged 60 or older on a donation basis. By enjoying a meal at the senior center, you will also have an opportunity to socialize with your neighbors and peers. There are no income guidelines for participation.
