In-Home Aide

 

In Home Care - Eligible clients receive a trained staff member to asist with light housekeeping and personal care. This service is contracted through a local Health Care Agency.

 

CSS collaborates with many other organizations, such as Johnston County Human Services, and JCATS to serve the needs of seniors. We make referrals for services to partnering agencies for clients as necessary, and help to coordinate medical trips for seniors aged 60 years and older, as well as transportation to our Senior Centers of Selma, Smithfield, and Clayton areas.
