Senior HelpLine
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. It links persons 60 and older and their caregivers to local services.
Professional staff briefly assess needs, send literature, and write referrals for 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.
