Marinette County Elderly Service is a non-profit agency which provides services to elderly age 60 and over in Marinette County. The agency's office is located in Crivitz and the agency employs approximately 30 full and part-time staff, working through Marinette County at several different site locations. Our mission is to assist older persons in maintaining a longer healthier, and more fulfilled life.
The majority of funding is received through both federal and state grants. The role of Marinette County Elderly Services as a County Aging Unit becomes more challenged as the nation's elderly population increases and funding becomes more scarce. Agency services include the following: Nutrition Program, Transportation Program, Benefit Specialist, Outreach, Information and Assistance, the Alzheimer Family and Caregiver Support Program (AFCSP), Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP), and CHAIN Reaction week.
As the population of frail elderly increases across the nation, as in our own county, we rely heavily on the support and involvement of the community. Our agency is fortunate to have committed staff, dedicated board members, and faithful volunteers that work together to accomplish our basic long-range mission to assist older persons in maintaining a longer, healthier, and more fulfilled life.
