Senior & Disability Services

According to the AARP and the National Alliance for Family Caregiving, families are often the primary source of support for older adults and people with disabilities.

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are programs that help older adults or people with disabilities live in their homes or communities rather than moving to a nursing home or other institution.
