Adult Day Center
Frontier Community ServicesOne of Frontier Community Services' (FCS) primary beliefs is that seniors and adults with physical disabilities are happier and healthier living in their own homes and being involved in their community. For most of us, choosing where we want to live is relatively easy. For many seniors who experience problems related to aging and for adults with a physical disability, this is a much more difficult task. The nature of the individual's problems can make it difficult for the individual to live independently in their own home and access community recreational and social activities. FCS provides a wide variety of services for folks who need help living in their home and accessing their community.
Yellow Frontier Community ServicesRespite Care

Caring for someone is hard work and we all need a break. Respite care is designed to give you a break while ensuring your loved one is well taken care of. FCS has people who can come into your home to care for the person you love while you go out and shop, go the doctor or just relax.

Yellow Frontier Community ServicesChore Services

Who doesn't need help cleaning the house and getting chores done? The physical demands of housekeeping can be beyond a senior's or an adult with physical disabilities abilities, so FCS has staff who can come by on a scheduled basis and clean up and get the chores done.

Yellow Case Management Services

Frontier Community Services
Case managers are different from care coordinators. The case manager makes sure the day to day services of your plan are happening. They supervise and train the staff working with you or your loved one. They can help you schedule doctor appointments and if needed even go with you to the appointments. Case managers are like a store manager, they make sure the customers gets what they need.
