Community Residential Services

The Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio, founded in 1974 and chartered as a corporation in 1980, provides services to senior citizens that empower them to live independantly. It coordinates and monitors all senior programs and services, serves as the focal point for leadership for regional planning on development services, provides advocacy when needed and grants funds to qualified, nonprofit, private or public agencies to operate services for older adults. One of its major areas of work is for Alzheimer's or dementia care. It also runs a free, statewide program designed to assist seniors and their families with long-term care decisions, where a trained and experienced professional visits seniors in their home, helps assess their needs, discusses available services, eligibility requirements, financial resources necessary and creates a plan of care.

About CPS Cancer Patient Services is a non-profit agency founded in 1946 as the Hancock County Branch of the American Cancer Society. In 1955, CPS became one of the first partner agencies of the United Way of Hancock County. This change allowed CPS to focus its attention close to home on services for cancer patients and their families in Hancock County. CPS is no longer affiliated with the American Cancer Society, which has a national focus on research for a cancer cure and cancer education. Our mission is to support you or a loved one battling cancer diagnosis with a variety of services at no cost. We can do this because of the support we receive from the United Way of Hancock County and our caring community.
