Our Care Coordinator can visit you at home, and help determine what services and resources we can provide that will help you live safely and comfortably. Call Patsy Hodges at (830) 792-4044, ext. 225 to learn more.

Some of the help we can provide includes:

Emergency Response Systems – We use the Lifeline personal monitoring system, which can be installed in a standard phone jack. A personal help button is worn either around your neck or on your wrist. If assistance is needed - any time, day or night, - a simple push of the button will connect you to the Lifeline Operator. The operator will summon appropriate help, based on your pre-determined preferences.

Medical Equipment Lending – Donated medical equipment, such as walkers, canes, bedside commodes, transfer benches, toilet risers, wheelchairs, etc. are loaned out on an ‘as needed’ basis.

Reassurance Calls – If you live alone and just want to 'check in' with someone on a daily basis, get on our Reassurance Call list.  After registering for this free service, our Reception Desk Volunteers will look forward to your morning call.  If we don't hear from you, we'll contact the person you have designated to go and check on you. 

911 Cell Phones – We have free cell phones that can be used to dial 911 in the event of an emergency, even if you don't have a cell phone account.  We also accept used cell phones that are no longer needed.  If you need a cell phone to call 911, make an appointment through our Independent Living Program Director, Patsy Hodges, at 792-4044, ext. 225.

ARE YOU A CAREGIVER TO A LOVED ONE?

Caregiving is a loving gesture coupled with an awesome responsibility! We’re here to help – both you and the loved one you care about!

TAKE FIVE CLUB
Is your loved one mobile and suffering from early Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, or other problems that makes it impossible for them to be on their own? He or she might enjoy our TAKE FIVE CLUB! Just drop your loved one off at our center in the morning where they'll enjoy activities and a nutritious, hot lunch.  You can pick them up in the afternoon, around 2:00pm. While they’re enjoying themselves in safety at our center, YOU will have 4 to 5 hours of free time!

IS YOUR LOVED ONE UNABLE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE, but would benefit from some caring companionship?

Let the volunteers from our GOOD SAMARITANS Group or
KERRGIVER IN-HOME SUPPORT SERVICE (KISS) bring friendship home to them!

Trained volunteers will come to your house or your loved-one’s home to visit, socialize and help expand their world of contacts. Call Patsy Hodges at 792-4044, ext. 225 to find out more.
