The goal of the Bridges to Care department is to provide services that individuals aged 60 or older and their families need for successful independent living and to prevent premature institutionalization. The services include in-home care, home safety and other minor repairs, and the loan and installation of assistive devices.
Over the past twenty years, more than 3,000 individuals have received in-home care through this program. Availability of services in dependent upon funding and there may from time to time be waiting lists for services.
