Inc. provides other services to our community, such as the foster grandparent program, energy outreach, prescription drug maintenance, medicare & medicaid counseling, helpline, money management, experience at work, and transportation. Foster Grandparents: Foster Grandparents is a national program through which volunteers receive a modest tax-free stipend to tutor and offer emotional support to disadvantaged children with low literacy skills. Foster Grandparents specialize in working one-on-one with children who need extra attention-perhaps the child is in Special Ed or has been out sick for two weeks and needs someone to help him catch up. Help Line: Volunteers provide information to callers about valuable community resources. People call us when they need yard work, or the snow shoveled off their sidewalk so they can get to the bus. Or they call us when a parent is being discharged from a hospital and will need continuing care in the home. Others call when they need a hearing aid or a will. And, of course, we get many requests for help with heating and hospital bills. Energy Assistance: This service helps people in emergency situations to pay the balance on their utility bills. Prescription Drug Assistance Service: This service helps individuals obtain prescription medications from pharmaceutical companies at little or no cost (many but not all drugs are available.) Individuals are also screened for eligibility for all types of assistance. If they qualify, we help them fill out and submit the required application(s.) Medicare/Medicaid Outreach: Seniors Inc. screens callers for eligibility for all types of assistance. For those qualified, we help to fill out and submit the required applications. Many of the people who call us are eligible for public benefits through Medicare or Medicaid. Home Care: Seniors Inc. Home Care programs provides compassionate, unskilled assistance to people of any age who need temporary help or long-term assistance to maximize their personal independence regardless of where they live. Homemaker Program: This program provides free temporary respite care services by assisting with cooking and light housekeeping needs. Money Management Program - Bill Payer Service: Trained, insured, and supervised volunteers assist clients with organizing their paperwork and mail; organizing, review, and payment of monthly bills; checkbook management and checkbook balancing; personal budgeting; and related personal financial matters. Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP): Trained counselors provide accurate and objective counseling, assistance, and education about Medicare and health insurance plans. Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP): SCSEP is a national program providing subsidized, part-time, work-based training. Program participants are placed in a wide variety of community service activities at non-profit and government agencies, work an average of 20 hours a week, and are paid minimum wage It is intended that these community service experiences serve as a bridge to other employment positions that are not supported with federal funds. Care Calls: Volunteers provide free daily or weekly check-in telephone calls for just a friendly chat and to find out if everything is going well to homebound seniors. Transportation Program: Transportation services are available under this program - one for which there is a fee, and one for which there is no charge (although riders are asked to make a donation to support the program.) Transportation is available to all Denver Home Care clients either as fee-for-service for Medicaid clients or included in the cost of care for those who pay privately. Other seniors who call for transportation are accommodated as scheduling permits. We try to limit no-cost rides to individuals with low incomes for grocery shopping or medical appointments.
