While there are hundreds of social service, government, religious, and other private agencies offering assistance to older people and their families, finding and contacting them can be a bewildering and time-consuming experience. Sometimes, even determining what help an individual actually needs can be a challenge. Information/Assistance - Aging makes the maze of services more understandable and the appropriate help easy to reach.
One phone call puts you in touch with a trained professional who will listen to your concerns and answer your questions regarding a variety of issues, including:
|
Alzheimer’s Disease |
Legal Services |
Staff will answer your question, direct you to the appropriate agency or set up a visit to discuss your needs further. They can also provide informational pamphlets and other materials to help you.
Senior Services, Inc. has partnered with the Mental Health Association of South Central Kansas, the United Way 211 and Comcare of Sedgwick County to help persons age 60 and over who could benefit from mental health services. Community members will be trained to look for the warning signs of depression or other mental health concerns. With the individual's permission an assessment will be completed so the individual can receive up to 10 home visits by a licensed counselor. Senior Services, Inc. will be especially vigilant with the homebound population utilizing staff, volunteers and peers to refer eligible individuals to our Information and Assistance coordinator. The general public can utilize the United Way's 211 phone assistance. To learn more about this important service please call 267-0122 or click here.
Information/Assistance - Aging has access to information about over 600 services. If you need information about services outside of Sedgwick County, the staff can guide you to resources throughout the United States.
Who is eligible?
Anyone may call Information/Assistance: seniors, friends and families of seniors, anyone seeking information about senior-related services.
Who pays for Information/Assistance - Aging?
There is no charge for Information/Assistance services. The program is partially funded by a federal grant and by United Way of the Plains. The program depends on private support for the rest of its operating budget. To donate, please click on HOW TO HELP.
