My mother called to have a railing fixed on her house the woman on the phone asked what race she was took her info and said it would be months. I had her call back and she got another person on the phone she ask why was she asked about her race and the woman said that was wrong should have never happen and she checked she was never put in list. Now she is on the list. Hope they find that employee because if my mother didn’t call back she would have waited forever.

Over the past five or so years I have contacted PCA regarding services that they list on there website as being available for seniors. Once when my landlord wanted to sell the building and evict the tenants, once for a legal issue, and most recently for their senior companion program. The only service that they seem to provide is referrals from a mostly outdated database. I found them to be a totally frustrating waste of time doing nothing more than I myself could do with access to a computer and an internet connect. Instead of thinking de-fund the police the focus should be on de-funding some of these big-box nonprofits with their 1970's and 80' models of operation.

That's a question that's really subjective. I'm a retired mental.health professional. I would suggest you to contact the primary agency responsible for your loveone's care first. If not satisfied, contact the appropriate county agency responsible for advocacy services.

Tia Woodson | Sep 21, 2020
Ernest Peebles | Sep 21, 2020

Well now, that's quite a common practice unfortunately or fortunately between the patient and caregiver. The remuneration wasn't very well thought out. As long as there is mutual consent, there's nothing you can do. The burden of proof is not easy to distinguish.

Unfortunately homelessness has no age barriers. Senior advocates can point you in the right direction to those who can help. AARP can be very helpful.

Oh dear. You had better call them before they close.

I have been apprised that this agency has actually misrepresented themselves as being there on behalf of my fiancee's Blue Cross/Blue Shield. They have been duplicitous and the young man was very unprofessional and so is First Trust Bank.
