Aging and Disability Services provides a key link between federal and state funding for services for older residents and family caregivers in the Seattle-King County area and the community-based organizations that deliver the services. We administer federal Older Americans Act funding, partnering with community-based organizations to provide adult day services, caregiver support, case management, elder abuse prevention, health maintenance, health promotion, information and assistance, legal support, nutrition, senior center, and transportation services.
The majority of these services are accessed by contacting Community Living Connections. Most services are provided by a network of community-based organizations located throughout King County who subcontract with ADS to serve over 48, seniors, adults with disabilities and family caregivers. Adult Day Services are provided to adults with medical or disabling conditions in order to prevent or delay the need for institutional care.
Case management authorized participants attend State approved day centers and receive care designed to meet their physical, mental, and emotional needs. Depending on the level of their need and the number of days authorized, participants may enroll in one or a combination of the services listed below:.
Caregiver Support. Caregiver Support focuses on both the individual caregiver and the system that supports the caregiver. The Kinship Care Navigator helps kinship caregiver identify services and supports. For more information visit Community Living Connections. Care Coordination.
The ADS Care Coordinators authorize and arrange for in-home services for adults who need personal care services to remain safe and healthy in their home. Care Coordinators monitor service plans during the year, following up regularly with clients and service providers to ensure that their situations have stabilized. Through the program, clients can select Home Care Aides to help with their personal care needs. ADS contracts with home care agencies and a client can select an individual they know if the individual meets State requirements.
