The City of Austell's senior population (55 years or older) is currently 815.  Cobb Senior Services provides an array of services to meet the needs of today's seniors and search for solutions to their challengers of tomorrow.  These services are available to all seniors in Cobb County.

In 1972, the Marietta-Cobb Community Service was created by the Marietta Housing Authority.  When the agency became a part of the Cobb County Government in 1984, its' name was changed to Cobb Senior Services.

Today, the Cobb Senior Services staffs 60 full-time and 39 part-time employees.  Staff services support a very broad spectrum of seniors, ranging from:

• The very active senior who drives and line dances;
   

• To the less mobile individual who is still able to take advantage of noonday meals, transportation, social and educational programs;
   

• To the frail senior needing monitored medical, nutritional, and social support at the Day Care Center; and
   

• To the other end of the spectrum, the homebound senior needing trained assistance at home.
