Volunteer counselors assist seniors by answering their questions regarding state health insurance and helping them to find the best plan to suit their particular requirements. In addition, counselors can assist seniors in applying for the financial assistance options and benefits that are available to seniors requiring short or long-term care in a nursing home. |
Baltimore City Health Department In-Home Care Support | (410) 396-6006 | The Baltimore City Health Department offers a number of services to help seniors to safely age in place in their own homes. Services provided include assistance with everyday activities, family caregiver support, nurse monitoring, home-delivered meals and a senior companion program. The majority of the services are free of charge and carried out by qualified volunteers. Though some of the services do require seniors to cover the basic costs, financial assistance options are generally available. Seniors need to apply for the services and be evaluated by staff members to see if they qualify for assistance. |
Maryland Department of Aging | (866) 502-0560 | The Maryland Department of Aging offers a free wellness check program for resident seniors over the age of 65. Volunteers call each day at a time specified by the senior to see whether any assistance is needed due to mental or physical issues. Participating seniors must provide an alternate contact number for a person who is able to carry out a physical check on the senior if the primary participant can’t answer the phone. Volunteers call non-emergency services to check on the senior if neither the participant or the alternate contact number respond. |
