Elder Law & Senior Services

Wyoming residents age 60+ (and their caregivers) generally qualify for Older Americans Act-funded services such as congregate/home-delivered meals, transportation, and caregiver respite through their local county provider.

Use the Aging Division's 'Services by County' directory to find the specific local senior center or nonprofit serving your county — every Wyoming county has at least one designated local provider. For general questions, call the Aging Division directly.
