Case Management, Homemaker & Respite Services
Seniors interested in accessing any Frail and Elder services must request an appointment through the Frail and Elder Program Manager. Appointments generally are conducted at the senior’s home with whatever family the senior would like to be present. An assessment will be conducted to determine if the senior meets the program qualifications to receive services. Services available are listed below.
