Outreach Services

The Burleigh County Senior Adults Program Outreach Services provides seniors, age 60+, and their family members with information, support and assistance in assessing needs and accessing senior services. Services are provided through home and office visits and telephone contacts.

Some common requests for assistance include finding home care services, financial assistance with food and fuel, transportation, housing and support through a difficult life transition. To schedule a free and confidential meeting with our Outreach Service Coordinator, please call 701-255-4648. Walk-ins are also welcome.

All staff of the Burleigh County Senior Adults Program are mandated reporters of elder abuse, neglect and self-neglect. Reports are filed with the ND Department of Human Services Vulnerable Adult Protective Services (NDHS-VAPS).

You may also contact our Outreach Service Coordinator if you need assistance in the reporting process.
