SENIOR SERVICES and RESPITE PROGRAMS
Senior Services Programs provide a variety of services for seniors in Columbia County who are 60 years of age and over.
The services are provided under the federal Older American’s Act Programs and include services such as, but not limited to: preventative health, legal services, home delivered meals, and other services to help seniors stay in their own homes.
The Senior Program also provides a trained case manager specialist to provide direct senior client contact and support for in-home services programs such as respite care and Oregon Project Independence Programs. The in-home services programs places a trained care provider to help the senior with activities of daily living to help them stay in their own home.
Respite Care is a temporary, short term relief, for families who are providing direct care to
another family member. Family caregivers need to take a break on a regular basis to cope
with the stress of constant care giving. Respite care provides this break.
For more specific information please call 503-366-6560 or email.

Oregon Project Independence - The purpose of the program was to provide a “safety net” for those individuals 60 years of age and over who did not qualify for Medicaid because of income or resources but still needed help in their homes because of inability to perform daily tasks.
