Healthcare Services
We help residents find primary care physicians, home healthaides, dentists, rehab facilities and more. Through dozens of healthcare
partnerships including clinics, hospitals, private physicians, and public
health agencies we connect residents to services that best meet their needs. Through one-on-one meetings with residents, we collect HIPAA-compliant data about chronic illnesses and trends.Insurance
Navigating Medicare, Medicaid and other insurance programsis extremely difficult for most residents. Whether it's trying to understand
medical jargon or difficulty accessing online health portals, we're available
to assist. Our relationship with health payers such as CareSource. Buckeye,
Molina and Anthem allow us to advocate for those we serve and ensure they getthe appropriate care.Meals & Food
Whether it's signing residents up for SNAP, coordinatingmobile grocery visits, holding nutrition education programs, or delivering food
boxes during COVID, we ensure residents have enough to eat and are able to get healthy foods.Mental Health
Our Prevention Specialists are trained to teach the WISE program (Wellness Initiative for Senior Education) to improve resident mental
health. We refer residents to therapy partners and routinely receive grants
from the Ohio Department of Mental Health for mental health and substance abuse prevention. All our staff are trained on mental health issues and interventions.Transportation
We meet residents' needs through both mass transit and individual transportation solutions. We've owned as well as hired bus services and ensure residents know about insurance-provided transportation for medical and therapy visits. We even educate about private services such as Uber, Lyft, and GoGoGrandparent, and have created bike-share programs.
