The Virginia Department of Social Services Adult Services Program provides case management, assessment and direct services to Virginia's citizens who have disabilities or who are age 60 plus. Specific services include:

  • Home-based services (companion, chore, and homemaker services)
  • Adult foster care
  • Adult day care
  • Case management
  • Nutrition
  • Assessment for assisted living facility applicants and residents
  • Participation on nursing home preadmission screening teams

These services are provided at the local level to help adults remain as independent as possible, preferably in their own home. The goal is to reduce the need for institutional placement and reduce the costs of long-term care.
