Transportation
We can assist you in arranging transportation if you have no other means through Dial-A-Ride or volunteer drivers.
Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program (MMAP)
MMAP counselors are specially trained in Medicare/Medicaid rules and other health insurance products to assist seniors in deciding which are the best options for them. MMAP counselors are not connected with any insurance company, nor are they licensed to sell insurance. Their purpose is to serve you objectively and confidentially. Every year between October 15th – December 7th, Medicare beneficiaries should review their prescription drug coverage to determine if it is still the best plan for the next year. Appointments are available with counselors to help you review your coverage. This service is free of charge.
Information & Assistance
Our staff are ready to assist you in finding answers to your questions or to assist you in finding available resources. Our office is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.
Almost all of these services are available to you on a donation basis. Part of your millage taxes go to support these services, so don’t hesitate to give us a call or stop by if you’d like to participate in any of these programs. And don’t forget to tell your friends, family & neighbors about us too!
