Seniors at home: connected, comfortable, safe.

Southeast Seniors is a non-profit organization of health care professionals and neighbors helping people 65 and older remain independent and safe at home. 

Mission statement: Southeast Seniors is a neighbor helping neighbor program that utilizes volunteer and professional staff to help seniors remain safely in their homes with an enhanced quality of life.

Sometimes, it is just a simple task that needs doing or some resources that would make a difference. Growing older is much easier and safer when you have the support you need to live well at home.

We have professional staff and volunteers here to support you:

• an Outreach Nurse on staff who can visit and assess nursing needs of clients,
• a Service Coordinator who can provide resources, and help complete forms/waivers for services and supports, 
• and many volunteers who provide transportation, companionship, and other services to support people 65 and older in the community.

Our Service Area includes Southeast Como, Marcy Holmes, Prospect Park and Nicollet Island/East Bank in Southeast Minneapolis.

​If you need support at home, know someone who needs support, or want to volunteer, please give us a call ​at 612-331-2302.

Creating or Updating a Health Care Directive Class
Wednesday, July 14th, 1:30-2:30 pm
Held virtually via Zoom
 
When it comes to decisions about your health care, it’s important that your voice is heard. We encourage you to have discussions with your loved ones, cultural or spiritual leaders, and health care providers about your goals, values, beliefs, and choices. Develop your advance care plan now, not when you’re faced with a crisis. In this class you will learn how to create or update a Health Care Directive using the Honoring Choices MN Health Care Directive form. Copies of the document and resources are provided.

Sheila Johnson RN has worked in the Long Term Care field for over 30 years as a Director of Nursing for Nursing Homes, Assisted Living and a Consultant for Adult Day Care.  She has been with M Health Fairview since 2008 and is currently serving as an Advance Care Planning Liaison Post- Acute Services lead.  She has had previous speaking engagements for Honoring Choices MN, Leading Age MN, MN Dept of Health and MN Adult Day Services Association (MADSA)
 
To register, please email moira@seseniors.org or call Southeast Seniors at 612-331-2302 with your name, email address, and phone number. Registration closes at midnight the night prior to the class to ensure we have enough time to send to the Zoom link to all participants.
