We're a community that values productive and healthy living.
Clay County Senior Services is committed to equity for all older adults in Clay County as well as those who work with older adults. We are proud to serve a county that includes both urban and rural communities, people of different ethnic and racial backgrounds, people who have diverse gender identities, and people who live across the spectrum of socio-economic realities. CCSS recognizes, values, and celebrates the diversity of Clay County, and seeks to fund programs that are inclusive and equitable in the implementation of their service programs.

Are you a caregiver? We want to hear from you! MARC’s Aging and Adult Services Department is adding new programs and supports for area caregivers. If you live in Jackson, Clay, Platte, Ray, or Cass counties and currently provide unpaid care to an older adult, grandchild or adult with disabilities, we invite you to participate in a brief caregiver survey. Whether it’s training, information, relief or something unique to you, we want to know about your needs and challenges on the caregiving journey. Your responses will help us strengthen caregiver services throughout our region. Thanks in advance for your participation and for your meaningful commitment as a caregiver. Questions? Contact Sarah Albin at 816-872-4692.
