The Partnership’s services for the elderly and disabled provide assistance to those individuals over 60 years old and the disabled age 18-59. The program is designed to provide assistance to individuals who require assistance with daily tasks to maintain their independence and provide advocates for individuals who are living in a long term health care facility. The Seniors and Persons with Disabilities staff will provide assistance with health services, in home services, public benefits, housing, and victims of abuse and violence, and advocacy services. The Seniors and Persons with Disability staff is committed to promoting independence and preserving the dignity of seniors and people with disabilities. Partnership serves people that reside in Hamilton county, northwest Georgia and Northeast Alabama.

The Partnership’s Homemakers assist elderly and disabled persons with the tasks of daily living, to allow them to continue living independently in the comfort of their own home. The Homemaker program provides in-home support to elderly and disabled persons that need assistance to continue living independently in their own homes. Caseworkers meet with the prospective client and assist their needs. The caseworker develops a plan and the homemaker provides the services needed. The services range from housekeeping, grocery shopping to non-medical personal assistance. Each client must meet the guidelines for assistance. The clients that meet guidelines will receive assistance at no charge. The Homemakers staff can communicate with family and others on the progress of their loved one’s independent lifestyle. Each client will receive one-on-one attention to provide quality care and assistance. With the assistance from the Partnership’s homemaker program, clients can maintain their independence.

The Partnership’s Service Coordinators assists elderly and disabled residents of public housing to maintain an independent lifestyle by connecting them with community based services. Service Coordinators provide guidance with filing for public and veteran benefits, nursing homes, boarding home placement, and lifestyle changes. The staff connects residents with community resources. Priority is given to those residents who are considered frail or at risk, but all cases are considered. It is strictly confidential and participation is strictly voluntary. A Partnership staff member will contact the individual within 36 hours to arrange a visit.

The District Ombudsman and trained, Certified Volunteer Ombudsman Representatives (V.O.R.s) work to resolve problems that may arise in long-term-care facilities between elderly and disabled residents, their families and facility staff. This advocacy service is available through the Partnership in ten Southeast Tennessee Counties (Hamilton, Bradley, Meigs, Marion, McMinn, Rhea, Sequatchie, Polk, Grundy and Bledsoe).
