Senior and Disability Services of Lincoln County created this booklet, to assist individuals with locating services, resources and other helpful information about some of the most common issues faced by our residents.

Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) staff at Senior and Disability Services is often the best first step toward building a support network for an individual and his/her family, providing information about how that agency and other resources can help. Administering a variety of programs, Senior and Disability Services are listed under many different categories.

Please call us if you have any questions or need further information in any area listed in this booklet.
