Learn about the role of Options Counselors

Presented by Tri-Valley, Center for Living & Working (CLW), and Elder Services of Worcester (ESWA) on December 6, 2024.

The video explains how their Option’s Counselors (OC) help individuals of all ages navigate not only Long-Term Services & Supports (LTSS), but myriad other programs, benefits, and options that are available to help them make choices that enable them to live fully.

Also discussed are the history and evolution of the OC program, the value of Options Counselors across the LTSS spectrum, and demonstrate how strengthening the current OC system could be the beacon of the future.

Tri-Valley, EWSA, and CLW are one of eleven Aging & Disability Resource Consortia (ADRC) that cover all of Massachusetts.
