Licking County Aging Program Inc

Homemaking, personal care, caregiver and chore services provide a means of helping older adults remain independent in their homes; thus, reducing the need for nursing home placement for many seniors. The program objectives are to provide clients with personal care (bathing, dressing, etc.), homemaker services (dust, vacuum, laundry, grocery shopping, prescription pick-up, etc.), respite relief for caregivers, and chore services (heavy household cleaning, yard work, carpet cleaning, etc.). These services provide the necessary assistance in allowing seniors to live in a safe and clean environment.

The transportation program provides a means of access to medical and other necessary appointments for ambulatory and wheelchair bound individuals in need of transportation. The program objectives are to help provide licking county older adults with transportation to medical appointments and other necessary places, if they are not able to drive themselves or do not have help with transportation. In addition, our transportation can help relieve isolation by allowing seniors to participate in activities at lcap that can be of mental, physical, emotional, educational and social benefit.

There are many other programs offered by lcap, including activities, social services, outreach, adult day services, and vision improvement services. These additional programs offer so many unique opportunities for the seniors of licking county, including exercise classes, educational programs, technology support, art and craft classes, assistance with health insurance and housing needs, low vision aids and basic eye care, daily care for individuals in our adult day center, and much more. Each of these programs is aimed at improving the quality of life for licking county seniors, by contributing to their independence and healthy lifestyles.
