We administers programs and services that help older adults and adults with physical disabilities to live safely and productively in the least restrictive, appropriate setting.

  • We work with partners to help older adults and adults with physical disabilities remain living in their own homes and communities.
  • We also act to protect the health, safety, welfare, and rights of residents of long-term care settings and vulnerable adults living in the community.
