Union County, NJ — Union County residents seeking services for senior adults age 60 and above have a choice of six dates and locations for the “ASK” Aging Services Kiosk program in December, to speak with staff from the county’s Department of Human Services, Division on Aging.
Division on Aging staff will come to public libraries in Clark, Elizabeth, Fanwood and Union. They will also be at the Westfield Community Center and the Mountainside Municipal Building.
Any Union County resident or caregiver can visit any of the ASK sessions.
“The ASK program brings our residents together with knowledgeable professionals, for guidance on programs and services for seniors and their caregivers,” said Freeholder Bette Jane Kowalski, who is the Freeholder Board liaison to the Human Services Advisory Board. “Our goal is to reach more people with useful information, by bringing our staff out to convenient locations across Union County.”
Staff from the Union County Division on Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) have been traveling throughout Union County providing information about services such as home delivered meals, respite care, home care, adult day care and support services for caregivers through the ASK community outreach effort.
