Back to Basic for Seniors Initiative

DOSS administers services that relieve the emotional, physical and financial hardships of frail seniors 60 and older and their caregivers.  DOSS provides every stage of assistance needed for the continuum of care through the complex senior years.  From active Senior Centers to more structured Adult Day Care Programs and In-home Services, DOSS’s goal is to maintain senior’s independence while avoiding costly institutional care.
