Aging & Family Services of Mineral County began providing services for the people of our community in 1974 as the Mineral County Committee on Aging. Over time, our agency has become a diverse organization administering many programs that provide nutrition, home based care, basic living needs and important referral and networking services to assist residents in locating resources that can serve their needs. Our mission is broadening to address the total needs of local families, particularly as they relate to the physical and emotional well being of older residents in Mineral County. Over 6,900 senior citizens call Mineral County home. At Aging and Family Services of Mineral County, we offer the senior citizen programs to fit their individual needs. The purpose of Aging and Family Services is to provide the senior citizen with a full range of services structured to enhance the quality of their lives, maintain independence, and prevent premature nursing home placement.
