Advocacy
For older Quad Citizens as well as those who care about them, CASI is the region's connection to community, services and advocacy that make it possible to age with grace, dignity and pride.
Free Community Advocacy Service
CASI’s Senior Advocates and Service Coordinators help families navigate through the maze of information on care options and available benefits for older adults. The goal of the program is to help adults stay independent, enjoy quality of life, and remain connected to the community. Meetings with Senior Advocates are private and confidential unless permission to share is given by the older adults and/or a caregiver with Power of Attorney privileges. And our services are free.
Our Senior Advocates assist more than 2,000 seniors and their families each year with questions regarding:
- Housing
- Transportation
- Legal Issues
- Health-related Issues
- In-Home Care
- Facility Placement
- Government Benefits
- Senior Programs
- Health & Long-Term Care
- Insurance & Assistance Programs
- Can assist with completing forms and applications for numerous programs and services
We can help with:
- Referrals to various agencies
- Waiver applications
- Emergency food assistance
- Fan for Seniors Program
- Emergency funding
- Accessing technology

Client Testimonials
“My parents are getting to the point where they need some help to stay in their home and I want them to live there as long as they can. I live out of town and was not sure where to get help. A friend suggested calling CASI. A Senior Advocate visited with my parents, gave them information on services, and they are now getting home delivered meals. I know I have a reliable source that I can call anytime I have concerns about my mom and dad.”
“It seems like each month the money coming in doesn’t stretch as far as it used to. I called CASI to ask if any help was available. I met with a Senior Advocate who connected me with some programs and benefits that have helped me out financially.”
