Created in 1971, the Osceola Council on Aging, Inc. is the largest social services organization in Osceola County, providing a wide array of services and programs to meet the needs of our community.
The Council is an advocate for the elderly, providing four key elements to their quality of life; nutrition, transportation, health services and housing. In providing for the elderly, the Council operates with three principles in mind; maintain the independence and integrity of our clients while offering choice.
Intergenerational programming addresses the challenges to families. The free health clinic serves those 18 years of age and older. Additional services to assist families fall under the heading of Community Action. The Council's Volunteer Center provides rewarding opportunities for residents wanting to give of their time and expertise.
The Council has been the caregiver for hundreds of thousands of residents of all ages. It plays an integral role in creating a 'safety net' for residents of Osceola County, prepared to lend a hand to the elderly, the disadvantaged and the disabled.
