Home Care for the Elderly Program

HCE provides both case management and a financial subsidy to caregivers of persons 60+ who are eligible for nursing home care through Medicaid, but who are receiving care in a family-type living arrangement in the community.

Intake for this program in both counties is done through the Senior Helpline. For information on services call:
