and laundry.

elderly persons while allowing the primary caregiver a reprieve from
his/her duties.

frail individual such as assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming,
toileting, eating and general moving about.

financial limitations. Allowable tasks - which would improve the
well-being and safety of seniors, would include, and are not limited to,

& window washing
Telephone
Reassurance

seniors (age 60-65) of the county who are not otherwise covered through
any other prescription drug program. Eligibility is based on income and
actual prescription drug cost.
