| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| SHINE Health Insurance Counseling | 1-800-243-4636 | The SHINE program provides free and unbiased information on state health insurance options to seniors and their caregivers. The information is provided by trained volunteer counselors and can be given on a one-on-one or group basis. Counselors can assist seniors in applying for the best health insurance plan to suit their needs. In addition, the counselors can help seniors to apply for financial assistance benefits allocated to seniors requiring long-term care in a nursing home. |
| Elder Services of Worcester Area Meals On Wheels | (508) 756-1545 | The Elder Services of Worcester Area runs a Meals on Wheels service that delivers nutritious meals to homebound seniors aged 65 and over who are no longer able to safely prepare a meal for themselves. Meals can be delivered on a long or short-term basis depending on the seniors’ requirements. The meals are delivered Monday to Friday by teams of volunteers who provide a social check service for the recipients at the same time. Volunteers can contact emergency services if anything is amiss and provide a friendly face for the seniors on their route. A small donation is requested for each meal, but no senior will be turned away if they are unable to contribute. |
| Worcester Senior Center Support System | (508) 799-5009 | The city of Worcester Senior Center works with St. Paul’s Elder Outreach to provide a senior support system. This system can assist seniors with legal advice, home care contacts, adult and social day programs, home modification, assistive equipment and transportation.

The program provides a telephone call regularly to check in on homebound seniors for a friendly chat and make sure that everything is alright. The volunteer will contact a nominated person or emergency services to provide an in-home check if the senior does not answer the call at the designated time. |
