Southeast Seniors is a neighborhood non-profit program coordinating services to help people 65 and over live well at home. It was created by the Southeast Minneapolis neighborhood in 1988 to help neighborhood seniors stay living at home with an enhanced quality of life.
Southeast Seniors is a non-profit community based, home-care agency serving the neighborhoods of Como, Marcy-Holmes and Prospect Park in Minneapolis.
We are part of a network of 36 Living at Home/Block Nurse Programs throughout the State of Minnesota. For information on other programs, please contact the Living at Home Network, 651-649-0315.
We contract with Fairview Home Care and Hospice, a Medicare-certified nursing agency for our home health services. We have RNs, LPNs and Certified Home Health Aide/Homemakers with special training in the care of older adults.
We bill Medicare and other insurance for in-home nursing services. We also have a sliding fee scale.
We have volunteers from the neighborhood who are able to visit with seniors, assist with transportation and help with other chores.
We coordinate services to help seniors to live well at home such as: grocery delivery, lifeline, meals, chore services, etc.
Financial support for the program comes from neighborhood individuals, businesses, churches and organizations; foundations; Minnesota Department of Human Services; City of Minneapolis; Hennepin County.
We work closely with other neighborhood organizations in coordinating services for seniors.
Neighborhood organizations we work with include: Pratt Community Education, Neighborhood Associations (Como, Marcy-Holmes, and Prospect Park), East Side Neighborhood Services, Joy Older Adults and Van Cleve Seniors.
