Senior citizens are the fastest growing segment of the population both nationally and locally. In recognition of the need to serve this important group, Covenant Health Senior Services (CHSS) collaborates with local providers and community-based agencies to establish special programs that identify and address the health and social needs of the aging. Our goal is to be the most comprehensive provider of senior health services and to be the first choice of seniors and their caregivers. Seniors appreciate the ease and convenience in accessing information and services, and are comforted in knowing their care is coordinated with other providers in the health care system.

Covenant Health Senior Services assists older adults who are 50 or better in their effort to lead healthier, more independent lives. Please read on to find out more about some of the unique services that we offer.
