Programs & Services

HHS provides support and services to Iowans aged 60 years and older. 

In 2050, it's estimated that 19.9% of Iowa's population will be age 65 or older. This means our services are more important now than ever.

  • We work to empower older adults to maintain their independence.
  • We advocate on behalf of older Iowans to ensure their rights, safety, and well-being.
  • We also help people with more specific social and economic needs.
