Coordination for Older Americans
We provide older Americans and their families with access
to the resources, services, and support they need. Our Service
Coordinators are experienced professionals who work collaboratively
with older Americans, their families, other professionals,
and service providers to access the services needed.
It is often the case that family members are
unaware of the range of services that are available to older
Americans. In addition, it can be an overwhelming task to
arrange for and to coordinate these services. This is the
role played by our team of Service Coordinators. They are
very familiar with the wide range of services available to
older Americans and take a “hands on” approach,
assessing need, researching programs, and empowering older
Americans and their families to make informed decisions.
We have a skilled team of caring Service Coordinators
with the education and knowledge needed to coordinate these
tasks and services for older Americans and their families.
Our Service Coordinators work closely with professionals who
are experienced in the areas of medical and psychiatric resources,
legal and financial assistance, housing, transportation, recreation,
educational and vocational opportunities. We are able to assist
older Americans and their families in navigating complex systems
and completing the paperwork involved with various benefits,
including Social Security, Medicare, and Veterans benefits.
An Economical Option
Service Coordination is an economical option for families,
consumers and their legal representatives who desire program
or other technical support to facilitate the use of the funding
resources available in the community.
A History of Quality
Meridian Services was founded in 1980 as a company dedicated
to serving people with disabilities. We began to provide Case
Management Services in 1984, and expanded that service to
include Support Coordination in 2001, under a consumer directed
program for people with disabilities.
