ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
Providing effective and quality
programs
to support our seniors. |
BRIEF HISTORY
Several
years ago, residents of Clay County began to see a need for
services that would support older adults in the county.
From
their efforts, House Bill 351, a levy tax earmarked for
older adults, was passed by voters in November of 2003. The
money received from this tax is used specifically for the
purpose of developing programs that will provide meaningful
services and activities to improve the quality of life of
our seniors.

TODAY
Our
doors first opened in February of 2005, and since then, we
have been rapidly
growing. We are currently providing many areas of support
for Clay County’s older adults, and we are developing new
programs and new ideas as we continue to grow! |
HOW WE'RE GOVERNED
In 2004, the
County Commissioners appointed a seven member
Board of
Directors; the members represent a diverse background of
health care, business, and community and civic experience. The
Board is responsible for program and fiscal oversight. Daily
operations are managed by the Executive Director and two
program associates. Early on, the Board of Directors
dedicated countless hours in researching and identifying the
most urgent needs of our seniors so that we were ready to
provide services as early as possible. We achieved that goal
by February 2005 when our doors opened to receive our first
requests for assistance.
