Serving Seniors Inc

Guardianship department. Court-appointed guardians play a vital role in meeting the needs of the community, particularly when it comes to individuals who are unable to make decisions for themselves due to incapacitation or other factors. These guardians fulfill a range of responsibilities to ensure the well-being of their wards and contribute to the overall welfare of the community. Our guardians focus on enhancing quality of life, preventing exploitation and abuse, ensuring access to community services, providing financial management, community integration, and conflict resolution. Lead by a national certified guardian, the guardianship department includes an experienced attorney who focuses on estate guardianship. For the year, we had more than 50 wards in our service, most of whom are referrals from local agencies, long-term care facilities, and the court. We also have a small handful of private pay guardians.

Patient advocacy. After the launch was impaired by the pandemic, the re-casted patient advocacy program blossomed in early 2023 and since then has become part of the health care and community service landscape. Serving seniors, inc. Patient advocates support clients aged 60 and older during their transition from a hospital or healthcare facility. Due to the complexities of our healthcare delivery system, the time dedicated to planning a smooth and seamless transition may be limited. A serving seniors patient advocate is focused exclusively on meeting the needs and objectives of the patient. The primary focus is to assist them in navigating the challenges of decision-making related to their transition from the hospital system, while focusing on a positive patient outcome that reduces re-admission. Statistics have shown that this program reduces hospital readmission. This program is entirely dependent on grants and donations.
