Our History of Service:
The Highlands Senior Service Center was incorporated in Clearlake, California, in 1980. For 39 years, HSSC Inc. has provided help to senior citizens in the community. Clearlake City Council Member and Highlands Senior Service Center Executive Director Joyce Overton said that from information assistance, to food programs like Meals on Wheels, “Highlands has made its purpose to allow senior citizens in our community to age in place, to enjoy their waning years in the comfort of their own homes, to ensure that they have access to a healthy meal, information vital to their survival, access to exercise programs and education opportunities, and a safe environment to meet and interact with their peer group — just a small example of the services we provide.”
