Explore Valuable Resources for Seniors at Union County’s Aging Services Kiosk

The Union County Board of County Commissioners encourages seniors and caregivers to visit their local Aging Services Kiosk (ASK) this October. These services provide an opportunity for attendees to meet with experienced professionals who can offer expert guidance on senior programs and resources and help with form completion. Bilingual staff will be available at all dates in October to provide support in Spanish.

"Our senior residents are the backbone of our families and the foundation of this country; they deserve nothing less than our steadfast support. This initiative is important to me, as it symbolizes our dedication to ensuring the health and happiness of our senior community as they journey through the later stages of life," said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. "I encourage seniors, caregivers, and family members to visit our Aging Services Kiosk this October and learn about the resources that are available and could have a significant impact on your or your loved one's life."

The Aging Services Kiosk is operated explicitly by the Division on Aging, a branch of the Union County Department of Human Services. It offers adults aged 60 and older, along with their caregivers, a friendly and convenient avenue to discover valuable programs and services and speak individually with a Division on Aging professional.

Staff at ASK locations can help older adults and caregivers connect with various services, including home-delivered meals, respite care, home care, adult day care, and support services for caregivers. Any Union County senior or caregiver can visit any ASK kiosk, regardless of their hometown. No appointment or pre-registration is needed. Below are the upcoming ASK events in October:

"We are excited to share that bilingual staff will be available at all of our 'ASK' events throughout October," said Union County Commissioner Vice-Chairwoman Lourdes Leon, Liaison to the Advisory Council on Aging. "We recognize that language barriers prevent some members of our senior community from seeking assistance that would benefit them. We want to express our gratitude to the Division on Aging for their efforts in addressing these challenges and ensuring that this service is accessible to a wider range of residents."
