In-Home Aide
We provide information and /or assistance for clients with most situations, such as personal, social, health and economic concerns. If we are not able to provide the assistance you are looking for, usually we can assist you with finding someone who can.
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 Activity Centers of Selma, Smithfield, and Clayton areas.
Senior Games
In 1983 N.C. Senior Games began with a vision to create a year-round health promotion and education program for North Carolinians 55 years of age and better.
Today, there are over 60,000 participants in 53 Local Games programs that serve all 100 counties across the state.
Senior Games is a holistic approach to body, mind and spirit staying fit, while enjoying the company of friends, family, spectators, and volunteers.
All Johnston County residents ages 55 and over are eligible to participate. Clayton Parks & Recreation organizes and runs the games at venues all around the county. Athletic events include basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, cycling, bowling, bocce, golf, billiards, croquet, spin casting, swimming, tennis, and track and field.
Arts events include heritage (quilting, knitting, needlework and more), literary (essays, poems, short stories and life experiences), visual (acrylics, drawing, photography and more) and performance (comedy, drama, vocal, dance and instrumental).
CSS is proud to help fund Senior Games in Johnston County.

We provide educational talks, presentations, and seminars discussing health, exercise, food preparation and safety, and so much more on a regular basis throughout the year at our centers across the county.

These presentations are often led by professionals in and round the Johnston County area or by our local CSS staff.
