Individual Support Services
|
Southeast Seniors helps older adults and their caregivers live at home as long as possible with these services:
|
Fees There are no charges for volunteer services and outreach nursing services. Costs for nursing services are kept as low as possible. Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance (e.g. Blue Cross/Blue Shield, U Care, Health Partners, Medica, VA) and other third party payers are billed, whenever appropriate, for nurse and home health aide/homemaker services. Remaining costs are adjusted on a sliding fee scale. The nurse will determine the exact cost for services on the first visit, which is free. |

Wider Scope
Students learn to write a neat and legible letter telling their story and sharing their lives. Some have grandparents in their lives, and some are grateful to have an older someone to be important to them. Being a Pen Pal helps students learn to express themselves on paper.
