Services for Older Adults

Where can I find help with my finances, insurance, and other needs?

We have several assistance programs to help older adults.

• Old Age Pension (OAP) provides cash benefits and in some cases Medicaid for those 60 and older who have little or no income.
• Long Term Care Medicaid offers eligible individuals comprehensive services, including in-home and community-based assistance, the Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), and extended nursing home or hospital care. It aims to support those with various mental and physical health needs, helping people remain in their community.
• The Medicare Savings Program (MSP) helps people with limited income and resources pay for some or all of their Medicare premiums; in some cases, it and may also pay their insurance, deductibles, and co-insurance. Eligibility requirements apply.
