Hancock County Senior Services

Linda Hart, Executive Director of Hancock County Senior Services, spoke to Kiwanis about the programs and services available.  They provide several services to help seniors stay in their homes.  These services include transportation, homemaker, handyman, information and referral, outreach, volunteer, respite and assisted care, and legal aid.  They also provided services to people who are under 60 with disabilities. 

In March 2013, Hancock County Senior Services moved to their new building on Fields Avenue.  New services and programs include certification of people for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).  They also participated in the Hunger Summit and are working with Meals on Wheels, Senior Services, the Senior Center, Hancock County Food Pantry and Gleaners food bank. 

A fraud watch for seniors and a resource library for caregivers are available.  Their goals are to improve community outreach and continue to provide training to be the best person you can be.  For more information go to http://hcssi.org/ , e-mail hcssi78@hcssi.org ,or call (317) 462-3758.
