Elderly Services Program
The Elderly Services Program (ESP) helps older adults remain safe and independent in their homes by providing home care services such as homemaking, personal care, meals, transportation and more. For over 25 years, ESP has provided home-based services that can assist with age-related challenges and help to ensure continued independence. ESP is funded by a countywide tax levy and is administered by the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio. LifeSpan proudly provides Care Management, Intake and Referrals for the Butler County Elderly Services Program.
