The Department of Human Services
is responsible for an appropriated budget of sixteen million
dollars, funding services to residents of nursing homes, the disabled, and the elderly.
Intermediate Nursing Care
pays for the Medicaid eligible services provided to residents
of private nursing homes as well as the Rockingham County
Nursing Home.
Grant funds
are awarded by the Rockingham County Commissioners to prevention
programs which serve as an alternative to involvement in the
juvenile justice system. These grants are awarded several
times throughout the year.
The Department of Human Services
is a resource for information and referrals to state and local
service agencies. For further information about any of the
programs or services offered through the Department of Human
Services, please call 679-2256, ext. 9393
