About Clinton County Community Center

STEP Office of Aging provides easy access to services for people age sixty and over through eight senior community centers and two social services offices. The eight senior centers are active gathering places for seniors to stay engaged in their communities. Senior Centers provide opportunities for volunteer work, fellowship, games and activities, health screenings and information, various forms of exercise, and healthy meals. Senior centers also serve their community through Meals on Wheels deliveries, craft donations, and in many other ways. STEP Office of Aging works to enable older adults to remain in their own homes and apartments. Information and referral to many federal, state and local programs is available. Caseworkers help older adults to assess their abilities and needs, explore options, develop plans to best utilize their abilities, and arrange for informal and formal supports to meet their needs. Older adults are involved in the planning process and usually have a choice in the provider of service. Caseworkers can assist older adults who want to enter a personal care facility that will meet their needs, and assist those residing in a facility with returning home with supportive services. STEP Office of Aging prevents, investigates and resolves the abuse, neglect and other situations that may put an older adult or their finances at risk, whether they reside in their own homes, with others, or in a personal care facility.
