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. |

Pen Pal Program
Meet your PenPal at the Final Party!
|
Like to get mail that is not a bill? Like to write letters and make a new friend in the process?
People 65 and over in the 55414 zip code are invited to join our Pen Pal Program. Letters are exchanged with 4th graders at Marcy School once a month. Participate in the comfort of your own home. You don't have go anywhere to correspond with a young person. |
|
How Does it Work?
Letters are exchanged with a 4th grade student at Marcy School once a month or more if each partner is so inspired. Students send the first letter in the fall to introduce themselves and start the process. Southeast Seniors can provide you with stationary, envelopes and stamps if needed - let us know. 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. Final Party!
Join the end of the year party to meet your Pen Pal and share your experiences from the past year. We'll meet up at the school in May to celebrate the year. Interested?
Let us know if you want to participate or know someone who would be interested. Fill out our form, call 612-331-2302 or email Ann Carter at ann@seseniors.org |

Join the CONNECTION CLUB:

|
|
Why Get Involved?
Connecting with a UMN student can open doors for both you and the student. Learn what life is like for a student now and help them connect with their neighborhood. Students want to see how their studies can be applied to life around them. Your involvement can open doors for them as they can benefit from your experience and knowledge. You gain a new friend and a new perspective on student life. Who Can be Involved?
Anyone 65 and older can be involved! Students often have 20-30 hours during a semester to give (September - December or January - May). They are willing to help around the house and/or yard, play games, cook with you, and lots more. Set up a time to meet that works with your schedule. How to Get Involved?
Students begin classes in mid-January and want to get connected very soon afterwards. Complete the short form below and we'll make sure you meet someone as soon as school begins. MN Daily features SE SeniorsThe Connection Club provides UMN students and people 65 and over an opportunity to connect and get to know one another. The MN Daily found out about our program and featured Southeast Seniors in an article. CLICK HERE to read the article.
