Care Management / Elderly Services Program (ESP)

The Elderly Services Program (ESP) provides support services that help older adults remain safe and independent in their own homes.

Who is Eligible?

  • Warren County residents
  • 60 years of age or older
  • Require help with certain Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADLs and IADLs) such as bathing, cooking, transportation, etc.
  • Be ineligible for services through another payer such as Medicaid, Medicare, insurance or hospice.
  • Eligibility for specific services is determined by the care manager during an in-home assessment.

Many seniors may receive services at no charge. Others may be required to help pay for a part of their care based on a sliding fee scale.

Home Delivered Meals are at no cost to eligible seniors. Donations are welcome and help us to serve more homebound seniors.
