Can You Make a Referral for my Organization?

No. We do not refer any providers. Rather, provider placement is based solely on consumer choice. However, we will give our consumers and members all of the information they need to make the best choices they can for their long-term care, including details about our provider organizations.

In one year alone, our provider network helped older adults and individuals with disabilities to receive 300,000+ home-delivered meals, nearly 140,000 congregate meals, 848 transportation services, 420 home repairs… and so much more.
