Caregiving Services
The OCCOA In-Home Services Department provides home-based caregiving services such as homemaking, personal care, respite care and friendly reassurance to eligible older adults in Otsego County (60 years of age or older). Our current staff of 15 service providers provides services to over 250 clients. Our department’s goal is to assist older adults in maintaining a healthy and clean environment in which to live independently for as long as is safely possible. Service is available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., for those who qualify. Frequency of service is determined by need, as assessed by our medical resource coordinator.
