There is a tremendous void in our society between available services to Seniors and the ability for the average person to understand what is available. The HELP for Seniors organization is attempting to build a structure that will reach Seniors with the information.
The experience so far has found that many seniors that are entitled to home health care are not made aware of the services or the fact that Medicare pays for it.
As the team from Help for Seniors has met with communities in the Southern Florida area, they have determined that from 20 to 30% of the people that attend the information seminars qualify for Home Health Care. They are finding that those that do not qualify at the time were not aware that they could contact their family members doctor when a family member would be qualified for Home Health Care.
The Information packets that are being passed out at these meetings are being received with an excitement that lets us know that this type of service is needed in every Senior Community.
