The Community Services program offers assistance to seniors, as well as caregivers and families of older persons. This support is offered through education and information about community resources that are available to seniors, and state and federal programs designed to help older adults.

Our Consultants also help seniors complete the necessary forms which may enable them to receive additional government benefits. They may also be able to help with health insurance and medication costs.

For virtually any question, our Consultants will have, or be able to find, the answer. Our main goal is to serve our clients the best way possible.

There is a Community Service Consultant available in each of the four counties that Eastern Area Agency on Aging serves. These trained professionals can provide assistance through a home visit, a telephone call, or email. 

There is no charge for the informational services provided by EAAA’s Community Service Consultants. And some of the topics which can be covered by the Consultants include:

• Medicare
