Best News For Boomers The Family Counseling Agency
209 S. Tucson Blvd. STAFF PICK: The non-profit Family Counseling Agency
sends out caseworkers to elderly and disabled people who still
live on their own, but are in danger of being institutionalized.
Case managers assess clients needs and hook them up with the services
they require to continue living safely and independently. For
example, if an old woman just needs help bathing and shopping,
FCA can set her up with those services and keep her out of a nursing
home. It's one of those rare win-win situations: Clients are happier
and healthier when they can remain in their own homes, and the
county economy is happier and healthier when clients stay out
of long-term care.
