Our Mission:

Providing service to seniors and 'at risk' individuals to improve or maintain Choice, Independence and Quality of Life!

Values:

Treating customers as we would hope to be treated when faced with similar life-stage needs or issues is an integral DAAS value for the delivery of services.

It forms the foundation for the Department's mission of providing quality services to the County's well and at risk elder/dependent adult populations. This value establishes the standard that all recipients of DAAS services are to be treated with dignity, empathy and respect for their self-worth. DAAS is governed by the following standard: Would we refer our parents or disabled family members to our own programs? DAAS also administers the In-Home Supportive Services and Adult Protective Services to the County's at risk elderly and dependent adult populations. DAAS is committed to safeguarding the rights of vulnerable adults, supporting caregivers and promoting prevention.
