All service programs are provided to the elderly via contracts with private profit and nonprofit organizations. The Division of Senior Citizens has responsibilities for planning, organization, evaluation and administration of grants. In addition, as a result of Public Law 19-54, the Adult Protective Services unit provides for the protection and advocacy of vulnerable elderly and disabled adults in our community.
