We are here to . . .
Help you locate services in your community,
Evaluate your needs and answer questions,
Link you to local care coordination services, and
Provide information, assistance and literature.
In addition to local information and assistance sites, the Senior HelpLine provides information on programs and services and links persons 60 years of age and older and their caregivers to local services.
Professional staff briefly assess needs, send literature and write referrals for a range of services such as
care coordination services, the
Long-Term Care Ombudsman program, legal services,
transportation, employment and
nutrition services.
Senior HelpLine staff also provide
abuse intake and accept appeals and service inquiries from the
Community Care Program clients.
