The Elderly/Disabled Resident Services Program provides services for approximately 3,500 elderly and disabled residents at the BHA. Resident service coordinators assist individual residents with needs in health, personal care, meal services, money management, substance abuse treatment, and/or other aspects of daily life. The purpose of this effort is to connect residents that are experiencing difficulties with available community resources. Coordinators also work with managers and residents to create an open and friendly community environment. By doing so, they increase socialization among residents and decrease isolation. The Elderly/Disabled Resident Services Program has proven to be an invaluable resource to both residents and managers, particularly in communities that have a wide range of ages and disabilities among the population.
Residents of the BHA’s elderly/disabled developments who are interested in finding out about services available at their sites should contact the resident service coordinator for their site.
