Senior Care

The Senior Care Program helps frail, health-impaired older persons select and locate the services that can help them continue to live in their homes. Personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, nursing care, shopping and transportation are among the services available. Services are made possible through the collaborative efforts of MAC or the local Commission on Aging, the Department of Social Services, and the local Health Department.
Each agency is committed to improving the coordination of services and filling gaps in home care for the elderly. After an evaluation is done in the home, a case manager ensures that the older person receives the right services at the right time.

To be eligible a person must:

bulletbe 65 years of age or older
bulletneed assistance with several daily activities (personal care, meal preparation, etc.)
bulletbe medically at risk of institutionalization

Senior Care has some funds available to help pay for gap-filling services for persons who meet established medical and financial criteria.

MAC operates the Senior Care Program in Wicomico County. The lead agency in the other three counties are:

Dorchester County : The Dorchester Co. Dept. of Social Services

Somerset County: The Somerset Co. Commission on Aging

Worcester County: The Worcester Co. Commission on Aging
