About us
Concerned senior citizens, along with the Hancock County Council on Aging, the Central Indiana Council on Aging, and the Interlocal Community Action Program, saw a need and were willing to devote time, funds, and creativity to see that a senior service organization was developed to meet those needs.
Established in 1978, Hancock County Senior Services, Inc., provides in-home, non-medical support services to older persons over the age of 60, the disabled of any age, and particularly to low-income residents.
In 2005, Hancock Area Rural Transit expanded the Senior Services Transportation Program to serve county residents, who are under 60 years of age. See the Services page for transportation details.
HCSSI provided assistance to 879 county residents through one or more programs during the past year. The following services were provided to the seniors and disabled of Hancock County during 2009:
