40 Years Improving The Health And Welfare Of The Elderly And People With Disabilities

SCUCS was established in 1979 with grants from Title III to provide short-term homemaker care, paratransit, the Golden Voice Newspaper and emergency repairs/fuel. The agency employed 15 staff and offered no additional services.

Over the years, SCUCS has researched, written proposals, secured foundation funds, and implemented several pilot projects that still operate today due to the success of the agency in securing long-term funding for these projects.  SCUCS has had many “firsts” including the Senior Shared Housing Program, the Respite Care Program, Sound Advice and Adult Family Care.  SCUCS lends its expertise to other counties and assists them in implementing these programs.

SCUCS has over 35 years of experience in operating home health aide and emergency services. The Adult Family Care (AFC) was initiated in January 1989 through a multi-year grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. (Adult Family Care) is now a Medicaid Waiver program. In 2014, the DDD Support Coordination was added to the In-Home Services Unit to develop and implement innovative strategies aimed at enhancing the lives of adults with developmental disabilities living in the community.
