Union County officials invite residents seeking information about services available for senior adults age 60 and up to visit the Aging Service Kiosk at any of the five locations in May to speak with staff from the county’s Department of Human Services, Division on Aging.
Officials said staff will be present at public libraries in Linden, Mountainside, Clark, Fanwood and Union.
“The ASK program brings our experienced staff to local communities, where they are more accessible to seniors, family members and caregivers who are looking for helpful resources and programs,” said Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados.
Through the ASK program, staff from the Union County Division on Aging and Disability Resource Connection travel throughout Union County providing information about home delivered meals, respite care, home care, adult day care support services for caregivers and more.
Assistance with completing applications and forms is also provided.
