Real Choices
Action for Older Persons' Real Choices Program provides free, unbiased, and confidential help with navigating the long-term care system and connecting with services.
CARE Volunteer Program
Our CARE Volunteers are trained to help you navigate the long-term care system.
Disabled and older adults have more care options than ever. While having many choices is important, the long-term system may seem complicated and overwhelming at times. That's why trained CARE Volunteers are here to provide unbiased individual guidance on how to access the services you need and follow-through to assure that you succeed in getting the help you need.
Call Action for Older Persons at 607-722-1251 to arrange to have a CARE Volunteer contact you.
