Elderly Services Program
Assistance for older adults in southwestern Ohio to remain independent at home.
The Elderly Services Program (ESP) helps older adults remain safe and independent in their homes by providing in-home services such as personal care, housekeeping, home-delivered meals, transportation and more. ESP expands care older adults may already receive from family and friends and prevents unnecessary nursing home placement. COA administers the Elderly Services Programs in Butler, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren counties. These programs are funded by county tax levies.
Income is not used to determine eligibility for this program. However, depending on financial resources, individuals may be required to help pay for the cost of their care through a co-payment (called cost-sharing).
