Senior Services

We offer Senior Services for adults with developmental disabilities past their best working years. Our staff works on developing relationships between individuals with community centers and community senior centers and assist in placement there. Additionally, the Trudeau Memorial Center staff offer some volunteer and recreational and leisure opportunities to seniors.

Senior Services at the Trudeau Memorial Center are an eclectic mix of programs and activities. Some individuals prefer full day placements at a center, others may pick and choose from a variety of options, including recreational and leisure activities, placement at a senior or community center, or individualized services.

While an individual may become involved at any age, typically they become involved in Senior Services after the age of 50.

In order to receive Senior Services, the individual must be determined eligible by the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). All adults who receive services from DDD have a caseworker already assigned to them and should contact that person to request Senior Services. Additionally, the individual will speak with his/her case manager at the Trudeau Memorial Center for a referral to the Senior Services program.

There are two types of costs for Senior Services. Program costs are funded by the Division of Developmental Disabilities or private pay. Lunches and activity fees may be incurred as well, and are paid by the individual.

Due to the nature of Senior Services being within the communities, the services may take place throughout Kent County. Transportation may be provided by RIDE, the family of the individual, the residential provider, or the Trudeau Memorial Center staff.
