OUR MISSION

Family Service of Morris County (FSMC) is a private, non-profit organization serving Morris County for 199 years with a mission of strengthening the community by empowering individuals and families to meet and overcome life's challenges. Within our mission, we concentrate on prevention and early intervention in four strategic areas to make an impact on our communities.

Protect Seniors

Please join Family Service of Morris County in honoring the Year of Elder Abuse Prevention. FSMC has been on the forefront of discovering elder abuse cases in Morris County through our Adult Day Centers, Case Management and Caregiver Outreach programs. Every Morris County household we enter is immediately assessed for abuse, every senior attending our programs is evaluated physically and emotionally, and every caregiver we counsel is offered support and services to help alleviate the tremendous stress of caregiving.
