YWCA Domestic Violence

The Aging Commission of the Mid- South

We offer programs that make a difference in the lives of all older adults and adults living with disabilities. From the older person who can remain at home if they receive the right services to those who are healthy and can benefit from the activities and socialization provided by our community-based programs, such as senior centers, we´re here to help.

Caregiver Information

Caregiver Information educates agencies, consumers, and caregivers about their roles and provides needed resources to them. It is important for caregivers to understand conditions, such as dementia, and to identify services to assist with specific needs.

Adult Day Care

Adult Day Care is community-based group programs of care lasting more than three (3) hours per day, but less than twenty-four hours per day. The service is provided according to an individualized plan of care by a licensed provider.

Adult Care/Sitter Adult

Care (Sitter Service) provides a period of relief for the caregiver away from their care giving responsibilities. It affords caregivers the opportunity to tend to personal matters or just have the opportunity to rest.

Personal Emergency Response (PERS)

PERS is an electronic device which enables individuals to secure help in an emergency. The individual may also wear a portable “help” button to allow for mobility. The system is connected to the person’s phone and programmed to signal a response center once a “help” button is activated.

Pest Control is offered to eliminate bugs, rodents, and other pests in the consumer’s home. It is important to maintain a safe and healthy home environment.
