Senior Sense
Financial difficulties can be overwhelming for older people, especially if they are dealing with other challenges such as; health access, limited transportation, and rural isolation.
The Senior Sense VISTA project is focused on developing innovative resources and services for Maine's Seniors. Some of the issues our VISTA members are working on include:
-
Health Access for the uninsured and under-served;
-
employment training and placement for older adults;
-
minor home repair and support for independent living;
-
personal financial management and fraud prevention education;
-
Legal support for the elderly.
VISTAs with this 30 member project serve across the state with community organizations focused meeting the needs for Maine's Seniors. Previous and current VISTA placements include:
