Hancock County Senior Services

Profile

Hancock County Senior Services (HCSS) is a not-for-profit service organization advocating for and addressing the life challenges of our Hancock County senior population and providing public transportation for all. In 2021, HCSS served approximately 900 unique clients with over 16,000 units of service. With the wide range of HCSS services, clients got rides to work or the doctor, got help with their housekeeping, got their taxes done at no cost and got help with the perennial flower beds, just to highlight a few. Most of our clients are Hancock County residents 60 and over; however, we serve residents with disabilities under 60, and transportation is available to all Hancock County residents. Many are on fixed income or working less than full time. Many are isolated from family or have none to help them navigate a difficult time in their lives. Our home services staff, drivers, dispatchers and volunteers are a lifeline to those in our county who need help staying home and those who do not have reliable transportation readily available.

In 2021, Hancock County Senior Services served 900 clients with over 16,000 hours of service or transportation.
In 2021, over 60% of the HCSS clients served have household incomes at 185% or less of the federal poverty guidelines.
Each year, Hancock County Senior Services helps older adults and those with disabilities from all of the Hancock County townships.
