The Saratoga County Department of Aging and Youth Services is committed to assisting our older citizens to remain in their homes and to actively participate in family and community life. The department provides services for seniors throughout the County of Saratoga. These services create opportunities for active older people and meet the needs of those at risk of losing their independence. Older people have access to information and referral services, transportation, job and volunteer opportunities, senior center and day care center programs, congregate and home delivered meals as well as case management and in-home services.
