How can I obtain information about services in Lane County for older
people and people with disabilities?
Senior & Disabled Services provides Information & Referral
(I&R) to people who need help finding resources and services. I&R
can be accessed by phone, by email, and in person. I&R endeavors
to link the person seeking help to the right resource, whether it is
provided directly by Senior & Disabled Services or by another agency
or organization. For more information on S&DS’ Information & Referral
Service, click the preceding link.

and services they need in order to continue to live independently in
their own homes. The Program’s Area Coordinators and volunteers
provide a variety of services to seniors and unpaid family caregivers,
including information and referral, screening and certification for various
benefits (such as, low income energy assistance, Meals on Wheels, medical
transportation, and respite for unpaid caregivers), and case management
for older people who need this level of assistance but do not qualify
for Medicaid-funded case management help. For more information, including
the locations and phone numbers of staff members, see the Senior Connections page.
