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. |
Educational & Health Promotion Workshops
|
Join us for an opportunity to hear a presentation from guest speaker on selected Wednesdays. Mark your calendars now!
Place: Held virtually via Zoom until further notice RSVP: Call 612-331-2302 or email Moira Olson Please provide your name, phone number & email address. Registration closes at midnight the evening prior to the program to ensure enough time to send the Zoom link and handouts (if applicable) to all participants. |
Flexibility & Strength Training
Wednesday, August 11th 3-4 pm Staying flexible and strong makes it easier and safer to do your everyday activities. It is also important to have good range of motion to avoid putting loads on areas of your body that are tight or restricted. Back by popular demand, Marisa Cuneo-Linsly will lead us through a paced workout, beginning with stretching and then adding in weight training. We’ll use body weight and everyday objects you have at home for strengthening if you don’t have hand weights. Wear comfortable clothing. All ability levels are welcome to participate standing or seated. Exercise modifications and handouts will be shared. Marisa Cuneo-Linsly has been in the fitness industry for 40 years. She has done everything from teaching fitness classes to becoming the Fitness Director at a number of local Fitness facilities. She enjoys working with people of all ages. Currently, Marisa works for Interlachen Country Club in Edina and she owns and operates her own personal training business called “StrengthWorks”. She is available for in-home training. |

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.
