The Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Telephone Service is now accepting referrals! This new pilot program has been funded by Greater Oregon Behavioral Health Inc. (GOBHI) to support the well-being of Oregon seniors (55+) who live in the rural and frontier counties served by GOBHI. A team of experienced senior peer support staff will be placing weekly calls to connect with isolated seniors to reduce the health impacts of loneliness and social isolation.
Aging Americans are struggling to pay for assisted living, home care, and other forms of long-term care. Paying for Senior Care aims to solve this puzzle by providing tools, information, and creative ideas that help families and caregivers discover the means to care for their elderly loved ones.
