The Franklin County Office on Aging is primarily responsible for planning and coordinating services and programs that assist older citizens in the maintenance of independent living.

The Office on Aging administers the Senior Options and Adult Protective Services programs. Senior Options is funded by the Senior Services Levy and provides "one-stop shopping" for callers needing information, advocacy or direct access to a wide range of community-based services. Adult Protective Services is funded by the Department of Job and Family Services and assists impaired adults who may be harmed due to abuse, neglect or exploitation.

By dialing (614) 462-6200 residents of Franklin County (Ohio) can access a system of services and information about community and home-based care for frail seniors. Senior Options maintains contracts with companies and agencies that provide personal care, home delivered meals, adult day care, medical transportation and other services that allow our county's older citizens to live independently in their own homes.
