| SHIP | (877) 801-0044 | The TN SHIP program is funded by the federal government and the state of Tennessee. The program provides free and unbiased information on state health insurance plans to seniors and their caregivers. Staff members can help seniors to find the best plan for their particular circumstances and assist them to apply for the plan. Counselors can also explain financial assistance options that are available to seniors who have decided to move to a long-term nursing care facility. |
| Nutrition Program | (615) 253-4161 | The Agency on Aging provides a nutrition program for seniors in the Chattanooga area. Those seniors who are still physically able to leave the house can go to one of the congregate meal sites to enjoy a hot meal and socialize with other seniors. Volunteers deliver meals at around noon each day from Monday to Friday to seniors who are homebound and are no longer able to prepare a meal on their own. The volunteers provide a friendly visit and safety check at the same time as delivering the meal. All of the meals provide a third of the daily nutritional requirements of seniors. There is no charge for the meals but certain requirements need to be met in order to receive meals. |
| Transportation | (423) 424-4201 | MyRide TN Southeast provides volunteer-assisted door-to-door transport for seniors to essential appointments. There is a small charge for each ride to cover costs but financial assistance is available. All volunteers are screened and background checked for the safety of seniors.
