How to apply for Lincoln Trail Senior Center & Nutrition Services in Kentucky

Who it's for

Through the Lincoln Trail Area Agency on Aging & Independent Living, Kentuckians 60 and older in Washington County can use Older Americans Act (Title III) aging services. The region runs senior centers that serve as a focal point for socialization, education, health promotion, and a daily congregate meal, plus in-home services (homemaking, personal care, home-delivered meals, respite, escort, chore, case management), participant-directed services, SHIP benefits counseling, the long-term-care ombudsman, and a no-cost Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) for one-stop information and referral across the eight-county Lincoln Trail region (Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson, Washington). Most services have no income test; a voluntary donation may be requested but services are not denied for inability to pay.

What you'll need

• Proof of age 60+ (driver's license, state ID, or birth certificate)
• Proof of Washington County residency
