Covid Update – H.E.L.P.ing Seniors with Food Delivery During Covid-19 Virus
In our national efforts to contain the corona virus, all of our lives have changed, as businesses have closed down and many people remain sequestered in their homes. Here at H.E.L.P. we have changed gears completely and for the past three months have been focusing on providing essential services to seniors. When all of the local cities had to close their senior centers and consequently terminated their breakfast and/or lunch programs, many seniors were left isolated in their homes without daily food provision.

H.E.L.P. offers private consultations with our Community Specialist who assist older adults, their families, and caregivers in examining possible legal options and planning tools (e.g., care planning, probate avoidance and property transfers), and estate administration (e.g., providing proper notices, distributing estate assets and paying remaining debts when a loved-one has passed).
