About uS
The mission of Hendricks County Senior Services is to empower older adults for personal independence, healthy aging, social connection, and lifelong learning in Hendricks County.
Hendricks County Senior Services is located at 1201 Sycamore Lane in Danville. Its 15,200 square foot building houses the agency offices as well as an expanded senior center. Included are a dining hall, dance hall, classroom, library, and a fully equipped fitness center. The agency is the operations manager for LINK Hendricks County, the rural public transit system of the county. Services are also provided onsite, in the community, and in-home.
HCSS believes fairness, equality, and inclusiveness is of the utmost importance in fulfilling its mission to the communities it serves. Based on this belief, the agency recognizes that in order to be effective, it must promote an organizational culture, recruitment, partnerships, and other business practices that demonstrate inclusiveness. We recognize and value any aspect by which people are different from one another. We promote and measure inclusiveness in various aspects of its internal and external functions. These encompass the entire organization from its board, its staff, its clients, and how services are delivered.
Hendricks County Senior Services is funded in part by United Way of Central Indiana, CICOA-Aging and In-Home Solutions, and the generous donations of individuals and community organizations. Service is provided without regard to sex, race, color, religion, disability, or national origin.
