The District of Columbia Department of Aging and Community Living conducts the Ambassador Training Program to provide more community members with information about our programs and services available for DC residents age 60+, residents with disabilities age 18 and older with disabilities and their caregivers. Ambassadors will share information with those who may be in need of services and connect them with the department.

When given a choice, many seniors and adults with disabilities prefer to stay in the familiar surroundings, which is often their own home. The Elderly and Persons with Physical Disabilities (EPD) Waiver program is here to help make this possible. This program provides services to help qualified older adults and persons with disabilities live in their own homes or community, instead of a nursing home.
For program information and instructions for application, download the packet below.
DACL offers hot, nutritious, and delicious meals in a group setting for older adults 60 years of age or older at many different sites throughout the District.
