Growing in years can present the elderly and their caregivers with a bewildering set of challenges. Anyone caring for an elderly person will likely have questions about services available in the area for seniors. The Clarkston Community Center can help!

The Information & Referral program is provided at no charge both to older adults and to their caregivers. A professional counselor will assess the needs of the older adult and explain how they might qualify for various services offered.

We offer wide-ranging help to find resources such as:

• Providing transportation to the doctor.

• Enrolling in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) to assist low income households, particularly those that pay a high proportion of household income for home energy, primarily in meeting immediate home energy needs.

• Answering questions on Medicaid.

• Helping you with meals and housekeeping if you are unable to do so yourself.

• Identifying recreation and leisure opportunities and enrichment classes.

• Finding adult day care programs in the area.

• Screening for public benefit programs.
