Resource Directory 2015, Frederick County Dept. of Aging by Anna Joyce

FALL 2015 I AM PLEASED TO SHARE the latest edition of the Frederick County Department of Aging’s resource directory known as the “Blue Book.” This publication is made possible through a collaborative partnership between Amy Benton PR and the Frederick County Department of Aging. It is this partnership that allows the Department of Aging to provide this resource directory to you without expense to the Frederick County Government, and I extend my appreciation to Amy Benton of Amy Benton PR and Anna Joyce for stepping in at the last moment to produce this publication. I also want to extend my thanks to the advertisers for their commitment to this publication, and to the Department of Aging staff for ensuring that the information contained in this resource guide is accurate and relevant. THIS PUBLICATION’S LONGEVITY and requests for distribution are a reflection of how it continues to be an important resource for many people in Frederick County. It is updated annually to showcase relevant and current information for citizens who face diverse challenges, interests, and needs, as well as a multi-generational population that spans ages 18 to 90+. Within its pages, you will find information about public and private resources and opportunities. While some people prefer to have an actual copy of the publication in hand, it is also available online by going to the Department’s webpage at www.FrederickCountyMD.gov/aging. Click on the Resource Guide link located on the left side of the page. THE FREDERICK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AGING serves as the Maryland Access Point (MAP) for Frederick County older adults, persons with disabilities, and the family members or caregivers who support them. MAP is a single point of entry for access to information, referral, and awareness; options counseling, advice and assistance; streamlined eligibility determination for public programs; and person-centered transition support. This approach to accessing health related supports and services has a direct impact on case management, including an increase in the number of inquiries, as well as actual hands-on administration of programs. The aging of the U.S. population is one of the major public challenges we face in the 21st century. Therefore, one of the Department of Aging’s priorities is to assist Frederick County’s older adults in living longer, high quality, productive and independent lives.

WE RELY ON YOUR EXPERIENCES to help create a vibrant department, and your participation in Department of Aging programs is a key ingredient to enhancing the quality of life for everyone in Frederick County. Sincerely,

Carolyn B. True, Director Frederick County Department of Aging

Mission Statement The mission of the Frederick County Department of Aging is to develop and administer programs and activities that support older adults and adults with disabilities in their efforts to remain healthy, active and independent members of the community, and to provide, coordinate and advocate for services which promote the dignity and enrichment of life for all seniors, persons with disabilities, families and caregivers.
