SafetyNet

Offering Support in Difficult Times


Sudden illness, or the worsening of a prior condition, can throw a family into chaos, especially when their financial situation is precarious. The goal of SafetyNet is to help older adults to continue living in their homes when illness strikes or worsens and there is limited or no availability of caregivers.

Our care managers can do the following for you and/or the person you're caring for:

Conduct at-home assessment of older adult’s available supports (e.g. family, neighbors, friends), ability to understand and follow medical instructions, stability of housing, safety issues, self-care abilities, and anticipated needs

Facilitate family discussion about upcoming needs and family strengths

Review eligibility of older adult for government programs (e.g. Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans’ benefits, food stamps, nursing home diversion waiver)

Assist older adult in applying for government programs

Connect older adult to community resources

Advocate for older adult in acquiring services

Follow up with older adult/caregiver to ensure that the arranged services are sufficient for safety and continued at-home living

To reach a care manager, call 845-341-1173, x306.

We try to make this program available to all regardless of ability to pay. If you possibly can, please support this effort with a contribution.

Partial funding is also provided by the Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County and the Dyson Foundation.
