New Reference Material

We have acquired a current copy of Solutions: a Central Indiana Resource Guide for Seniors, Persons with Disabilities and Family Caregivers by CICOA Aging and In-home Solutions. CICOA serves Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Morgan and Shelby counties. CICOA's mission is to help older persons and those of any age with a disability to live with greatest possible independence, dignity and quality of life.

The Basic Needs section of the guide includes programs that furnish survival level resources including food, housing, material goods, transportation and utilities for individuals with low or fixed incomes, people who are homeless, older adults and/or people with disabilities who are otherwise unable to adequately provide for themselves and their families. It also included related services that are available to the community at large. Other sections are Consumer Services, Education & Enrichment, Health Care, Income Support, Individual & Family Life, Legal Services, Mental Health & Substance Abuse, Organizational/Community Services, Country Senior Services, and Caregiver Services.

The guide is kept at the Reference desk so stop by if you would like to look at it.
