Describe the challenge you want to address:
Seniors need help navigating social service systems like home health aide applications. They need needs assessments that ask what they need and doesn't assume / Social service professionals can't reach people who don't come to senior centers. They often have to rely on community members' kindness for resources they can't use or get.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Helps seniors navigate Government systems & bureaucracy, completes applications, has needs assessment that helps seniors figure out what they need & how to get it. Community members that step in to fill those gaps in service get a stipend & support & training to help complete forms, access to social work, and some fun @ homeor community events like going to plays.
