Welcome to York County Aging Services
York County Aging Services is dedicated to maintaining the independent lifestyle and the dignity of older adults in our communities. We work to develop and maintain a network of coordinated, community based services and activities. We strive to strengthen home and family living for persons 60 years and older and to foster full participation by elders in community life and opportunities.
York County Aging Services is jointly sponsored by County, State and Federal funds made available through the York County Board of Commissioners and Aging Partners. Contributions for services and donations also help to support the Program.
All activities and services of the York County Aging Services Program are provided without regard to race, color, creed, national origin or disability.
