Major Activities

Activity 2

The Senior Companion Program is a national program through which senior individuals provide assistance and friendship to the at-risk elderly and disabled adult population in adult daycare centers, senior centers, hospitals, and independent living facilities. By providing transportation to medical appointments, grocery stores, social service agencies, translation services as needed, assisting with paperwork, and contact with the outside world, senior companions often provide the services that the frail elderly need to live independently. Senior companions also provide respite care to relieve live-in caretakers for short periods of time. There were 122 senior companions during the fiscal year who provided over 95,000 hours of assistance to 778 participants.

Activity 3

Innovage Home Care provides other services to our community, such as energy outreach, prescription drug maintenance, Medicare & Medicaid counseling, helpline, money management, and transportation. Help Line: Volunteers provide information to callers about valuable community resources, such as yard work assistance, snow removal, help with hospital and/or utility bills, etc. This program assisted 1,104 callers in FY2013. Prescription Drug Assistance Service: This program helped 47 individuals obtain prescription medications from pharmaceutical companies at little or no cost during the year (many, but not all drugs are available). Individuals are also screened for eligibility for other types of assistance. If they qualify, volunteers help them fill out and submit the required application(s). Medicare/Medicaid Outreach: IHC screens callers for eligibility for all types of assistance. For those qualified, volunteers help to fill out and submit the required applications. Many of the people who call are eligible for public benefits through Medicare or Medicaid. This program assisted 351 people during the year. 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. In FY2013, 40 volunteers provided assistance to 50 participants. Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP): Trained counselors provide accurate and objective counseling, assistance, and education about Medicare and health insurance plans. Over 430 callers were helped in FY2013. 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. No-cost rides are primarily allotted to individuals with low incomes for grocery shopping or medical appointments. This program provided over 800 rides in FY 2013.
