My mother is 88 years old and is becoming quite frail. She lives by herself. She needs more care and assistance than my husband and I can provide. Can Davis County’s Senior Services help us?

There are several programs and services including the Alternatives Program, Medicaid Aging Waiver Program, New Choices Waiver Program, and Veterans Directed Home and Community Based Services that may be able to help your aging loved one. To access these programs, contact Davis County Seniors Services at 801-525-5050. A case manager will discuss your mother's situation with you and make referrals to appropriate services.

Do you charge for the services you offer?

Most services are available on a 'suggested donation' basis. We do not deny services to someone if they are unable to make a donation. All donations are used to expand programs and additional services.

Some home-based services charge a fee based on a sliding scale that is tied to level of income, or individuals may be required to 'spend down' their income in order to be eligible for assistance. Please call a case manager at 801-525-5050 to discuss eligibility and options.
