Senior Services
Senior ServicesThis guide to services for older and disabled adults includes information on resources and services for older adults, their family members and caregivers in Chesterfield County. The Resource Directory of Services for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities in Chesterfield County, which was prepared by the Chesterfield Council on Aging, is intended for a wide audience, including older or disabled adults, their families, caregivers, and professionals. The directory contains the names, addresses, telephone numbers and web sites of organizations that offer health information, legal assistance, educational opportunities, social services, consumer advice or other assistance.
We have included public and not-for-profit agencies, professional societies, private groups and voluntary programs. Some of these organizations deal primarily with older and disabled people and their families. We have tried to include as many groups as possible. Please keep in mind, that the Chesterfield Council on Aging does not recommend or endorse specific organizations. Following the introduction, local agencies are listed and their services described. Other resources are arranged alphabetically by category in the table of contents. Every effort has been made to include accurate information. Because this type of information is subject to change, we encourage you to update telephone numbers and addresses periodically. Chesterfield Council on AgingThe Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors established a Long Term Care Coordinating Committee in 1983 in response to Senate Bill 219 passed by the Virginia General Assembly. The mission of the committee was to support the development of community based resources and to avoid the inappropriate institutionalization of impaired elderly and disabled adults. In 1987, this committee was expanded to encompass the Long-Term Care Council. Since that time the Council has been very active. It has received both State and National recognition. In August 2004, the Council changed its name to Chesterfield Council on Aging.
