What are the Aging Network and Senior Services?
Finding help for older adults.
Senior Services provides contractual oversight and technical and programmatic support for all state and federally funded Older American Act programs, three of the State’s Area Agencies on Aging, federally sanctioned Volunteer Programs (Foster Grandparent Program, Senior Companion Program, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), and with the New Mexico Senior Olympics and New Mexico State Bar Foundation/Legal Resources for the Elderly Program.
Working with other Department divisions, State Agencies, Area Agencies on Aging and contract providers, the Bureau’s Program Managers work to ensure the effective and efficient administration and management of federal and state funds, and also to ensure that the highest quality of services are being provided to older adults, adults with disabilities, families and caregivers throughout our state.
