How to start
The honest starting point
The Community Service Center at 430 Prior Street SE is the central intake for senior programs and public transportation in Gainesville-Hall County, and its phone line, (770) 503-3330, is the single number that routes to the senior center, Meals on Wheels, and the county programs.
The honest close: if you are helping a parent or spouse navigate this, start with one call to that number and let the intake worker route you. It saves a week of calls.
