C.A.R.E:
The difficulties experienced by older adults are too often accepted as a
normal part of aging. Serious decline in the later years can often be
attributed to a variety of factors including physical and mental
disorders.
C.A.R.E (Coordinated Assessments & Resources for the Elderly) is
designed to provide assistance to older adults whose independence is
threatened by physical and mental difficulties.
Professionals from Elderly United are working at one downtown location to
provide a comprehensive range of services to help older persons maintain
the highest level of functioning, independence and quality of life
possible. Mental Health
Services provides diagnostic assessment, med/somatic, and individual
counseling at C.A.R.E. on a contractual basis.
C.A.R.E services include:
- Gatekeeper - to train community workers to identify and refer at-risk individuals
- Assessments - to determine problems, needs, strengths and limitations
- Outreach - to access community resources
- Counseling - to assist with problem solving and facilitate growth.
- Guardianship - recruiting, training, and matching volunteers to serve as guardians.
Most services are provided at no charge, but no one is denied service because of their inability to pay. Many people are covered by their insurance plans, including Medicare, for diagnostic assessment and counseling services. For more information contact (937) 324-9000.
