Information & Assistance

Information and assistance is designed to answer your questions, provide direct services and to make referrals to other agencies. Under the Older American’s Act, the Office for the Aging is designated to act as an advocate for individual seniors in order to protect and preserve their rights. In addition, we advocate for services and programs that affect our county’s seniors as a whole.
