Message from Clermont Senior Services about their services to older adults

Clermont County, Ohio – Clermont Senior Services provides a broad scope of home and community-based services, enabling older adults to remain in their own homes, and as active and independent as possible. 

The trust of those we serve and the greater Clermont community is important to us, and we take our work very seriously to earn that trust. Therefore, we are connecting with you and sharing some of the ways in which we are working to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and, thereby, protect those older adults who are most vulnerable. 

Clermont Senior Services is engaging in regular communication with the local Health Department, the Council on Aging of Southwest Ohio and state departments, such as the Ohio Department of Aging and LeadingAge Ohio.  We are taking guidance and direction from them, and passing along any important information to staff, as well as the population we serve, as this situation evolves. 

For our employees, volunteers and those we serve, we have established protocols that are specifically focused on preventing the spread of COVID-19. 

• • First and foremost, all critical home-based and Adult Day Services programs are continuing to operate.  These programs include Home Care, Meals-on-Wheels, Adult Day Services, Home Repair, and Transportation.
  • All employees and volunteers are receiving instructions and/or training on preventing the spread of COVID-19.   
  • Those persons we serve are being asked to alert their case managers or specific departments (i.e. Transportation, Adult Day Services Center) if they are presenting any of the common symptoms, such as an elevated temperature, coughing, sneezing and/or shortness of breath.
  • Lifelong Learning Centers, located at the Union Township Civic Center, Miami Township Civic Center and Bethel Woods, will be closed for a period of two weeks and will, tentatively, reopen on Monday, March 30, 2020.
  • All seven senior housing communities operated by Clermont Senior Services are following precautionary guidelines and are not hosting events or activities in their respective community rooms.  All other operating services of Clermont Senior Services continue to be functional to residents receiving services in the facilities. 

All of the above is subject to change as the situation changes.  Anyone with any questions can call our agency at 724-1255.
