When a senior’s needs extend beyond appointment, discharge, or service referral, we can take a closer look at daily life and help identify what comes next

When the referral is only the beginning

You may know a senior needs help with meals, personal care, housing, safety, or support at home. The harder question is what happens after they leave your care. Did the service start? Can they manage day to day? Is there another concern no one has seen yet?

Seniors In Distress gives social workers a way to connect seniors with an Advocate who can look at those questions more closely.

Early Childhood Development (ECD)

At the heart of the program is Early Childhood Development, targeting children between the ages of 0 to 5 years. It focuses on foundational brain development, emotional nurturing, and early learning.

Through community-based ECD centers, children receive age-appropriate stimulation, structured play, balanced meals, and regular health checks. Parents are also trained in responsive caregiving and positive parenting practices.

Education Access

The program ensures that school-age children have access to quality education by providing school fees subsidies, uniforms, learning materials, and mentorship. Special emphasis is placed on girl-child education and children with disabilities. School retention campaigns and after-school tutoring help improve literacy and numeracy, while partnerships with local schools enhance teaching quality and infrastructure.

Nutrition & Health

Nutrition is a cornerstone of the program, with consistent feeding schemes established in ECD centers and primary schools. Malnutrition screenings are conducted regularly, followed by treatment and dietary supplementation where necessary. Health outreach efforts include immunizations, deworming, vitamin A distribution, and access to clean water and sanitation facilities.

Refer a Senior

Get Started

Refer a senior when you notice

Meals, transportation, medication access, or personal care failing
The senior’s living situation raises safety concerns
Isolation, caregiver strain, or possible mistreatment needs attention
A discharge plan may be difficult to carry out at home
The senior needs more support than a single service referral can provide

Help with Medicaid and other benefits

As a Community Partner with Florida’s Department of Children and Families Economic Self-Sufficiency program, we helps seniors navigate
the benefits process at no charge.

We can help with:

Applying for Medicaid and food assistance through SNAP
Gathering and submitting requested documents
Understanding notices and requests for information
Completing renewals
Following up on application status

Social Workers can connect seniors with us when paperwork, missing records, or uncertainty about the next step prevents them from moving forward. Eligibility and approval are determined by the administering agency.

After you refer a senior

We make contact
An Advocate reaches out to the senior or their authorized contact to hear their concerns
We visit when appropriate
A free Quality of Life Check helps us understand their daily needs and living situation
We make a plan
We identify priorities, help connect the senior with available support, and set follow-up steps
We keep you informed
With the senior’s permission, we share relevant updates on the referral

Work with us

Share the concern and contact information for the senior or an authorized contact. We will review the referral and work with the senior to determine the next step.
