Service Coordination
What is Service Coordination?
Service Coordination places a qualified individual in your community to help elderly and disabled residents access services and programs they may need. A Service Coordinator is on site to offer assistance and information, make referrals, promote healthy lifestyles and wellness, encourage common interests and activities, and improve quality of life.
For an in-depth discussion on how the Service Coordination program can work for you and your residents call Merritt Sessor at 1-800-582-7277.
