Aging and Adult Services
The Department of Human Services administers programs and services that help older adults and adults with physical disabilities to live safely and productively in the least restrictive, appropriate setting.
- We work with partners to help older adults and adults with physical disabilities remain living in their own homes and communities.
- We also act to protect the health, safety, welfare, and rights of residents of long-term care settings and vulnerable adults living in the community.
