At the core of our Supportive Services is our faith-driven mission to provide personalized assistance that addresses the unique needs of each senior we serve. This includes help with housing, furniture, benefits, and medical advocacy, among other services. We aim to support our clients’ diverse requirements, empowering them to maintain their independence at home. At Catholic Social Services (CSS), we honor seniors’ dignity by offering tailored support that enables them to age in place in their communities. We aim to help seniors in Franklin and Licking counties live a life of dignity and choice.
Every senior has a unique set of needs and preferences, and our Supportive Services reflect that individuality. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we collaborate with you to design a service plan that aligns with your specific circumstances. Our commitment is to work with you to fulfill your goals, ensuring that your voice is heard and respected every step of the way.
