The Bureau of Aging & Disabilities is responsible for a wide range of programs and
services for older adults (60 +), individuals with disabilities, Veterans and those who care
for them. Combined federal, state, and county funding support essential services for
Carroll’s older adults, people with disabilities, and Veterans. Programs and activities are
offered regardless of race, creed, or national origin. Many programs are offered free of
charge. Other programs require small fees and all programs accept donations to help
defray costs.
Maryland Access Point (MAP)/Information & Assistance
Maryland Access Point (MAP)/Information & Assistance is a resource for information
and assistance about long-term services and supports, particularly for older adults and
individuals with disabilities. If you or someone you know needs community services to
avoid a nursing home stay or help with shopping, chores or personal assistance because
of a disability, MAP is a gateway, guide and a single-entry point to long term services and
programs within the Bureau of Aging & Disabilities and other service providers in Carroll
County.
Referrals are made to supporting services and community agencies. Information is
available concerning care giving, housing options, medicine costs, transportation and
legal problems, as well as other topics.
Although the main office is located at the Carroll County Bureau of Aging &
Disabilities, satellite offices are located at each senior center. A MAP Information &
Assistance program staff member visits the Senior & Community Centers on a monthly
basis, excluding July and December. Scheduled appointments are appreciated, but walkins are accepted. Please call our office at 410-386-3800 for the schedule of Senior &
Community Center visits. Home visits can be made for those considered homebound.
As a MAP agency, the Bureau of Aging & Disabilities can connect individuals with
services about…
• Housing Options
• Caregiver Resources
• Veterans Services
• Case Management Services for Veterans
• Medical Transportation for Veterans
• Maryland Energy Assistance
• Renters’ Tax Credit
• Homeowners’ Tax Credit
• Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB)
