Connecting Waters with Jessica Martinez
Hello all,
Welcome back to Connecting Waters! I’ve received a lot of questions about Baby Seniors so I thought I’d take this opportunity to let you know who a Baby Senior is and what we can do for them.
For those of you who do not know, a Baby Senior is a person who has either just turned 55 years old or is about to. Many new seniors are unaware of all the services we offer here at Senior Services. For example, did you know we provide Life Alert devices or that we offer exercise programs for seniors and adults with disabilities? We even take sightseeing trips out of state! We are not always all business and no fun here. We also like to offer fun, social activities for you as well!
Q: I just turned 55. What services can I receive and how do I go about signing up for them?
A: Getting started here is really quite easy. Let me share the pathway of becoming a Baby Senior!
Simply give us a call at 480.362.6350 and we will schedule an appointment with our friendly and knowledgeable Intake and Assessment Coordinator.
During your appointment, she will go over all the services and resources Senior Services have to offer.
She will then conduct an intake assessment. Based on your assessment, a personalized case plan will be developed for you which could include services such as homecare assistance, transportation or meal delivery.
If you feel you are not in need of any of those services, no problem! Our Intake and Assessment Coordinator will note that, but you can still be added to our email or text alerts to keep you informed of activities or events hosted by us so you can participate.
We also encourage you to follow our facebook page, where you find the most up-to-date information about our programs and events, facebook.com/ srseniorservices
We understand becoming a senior can seem overwhelming at times. We here at Senior Services want to make that transition as easy as possible. Additionally, often times I encounter people who tell me they do not want to reach out to us because they do not “feel old”. My answer to them is always the same:
1. Age is a blessing
2. Consider us more of a social club where you can see and interact with friends and family, and maybe get some assistance with your needs at the same time.
I hope that you will give us a call. We are honored to serve you. You deserve it!
