Minuteman Senior Services Launches New Program

Building on 40 years of experience and a reputation for excellence, local non-profit Minuteman Senior Services has launched a new fee-based program called Minuteman By Your Side that extends a vital service - care management - to adults of any age who can use some help coping with the challenges presented by aging, disability or caregiving. The experienced and credentialed By Your Side team of licensed social workers begins with a comprehensive assessment of needs and preferences (including a home safety assessment) and helps create a personalized plan. This can include arranging home care services, accompanying and advocating at medical appointments, locating appropriate housing and transportation or balancing caregiving responsibilities. Minuteman’s care management service is conflict-free, as the agency has no ownership interest in any direct service or facility, and long-term relationships with their network of independent direct service providers offers added value for consumers as well.

This is a new alternative for those who do not qualify for state-subsidized services but need an affordable option to help them find practical solutions to everyday challenges. Those who can benefit include seniors or adults with disabilities of any age who live alone, couples struggling with care decisions and arrangements, overwhelmed or long distance caregivers, guardians, or anyone who needs support on a short or long term basis. Minuteman offers over 20 different programs and will always educate consumers about other types of assistance available.

For more information about Minuteman By Your Side, or any of the programs offered by Minuteman Senior Services, please call 781-202-3501.
