Resources for Aging and Disabled

Batesville, IN— If you or a loved one are at risk of losing independence, Sen. Jean Leising says there are a number of resources in our community that offer assistance.  

Established by the Indiana General Assembly, the Community and Home Options to Institutional Care for the Elderly and Disabled Board, known as the CHOICE Board, is charged with providing care resources for the elderly and individuals with disabilities.

There are 16 area-based locations across Indiana that offer a continuum of care resources. The locations are individually tasked with fulfilling the requirements of the CHOICE Board. The requirements include, but are not limited to, in-home care and options counseling, caregiver support, State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) counselors, legal services, meal-prep, and transportation.

The following resource areas are available to residents living in Senate District 42:
