I have worked at COA for a year. I have greatly enjoyed my time in the Elderly Services Program and have experienced great support and leadership within my department. COA offers attractive benefits, which are a big draw. In addition, COA offers a myriad of services for older adults, and I have found care managers to be knowledgeable of community resources.

Recently our family was faced with a situation pertaining to our grandmother and the lack of care she was receiving at her rehab facility. My grandmother has utilized services from Council on Aging over the years. Now faced with an unwanted situation we contacted COA for guidance and advice to get my grandmother the proper care she needed. Her case manager, Margo McMurray, was very responsive to our concerns. She offered a wealth of information, resources and guidance that in the end allowed us to move my grandmother into a better rehab facility. The fact that we had an attentive, caring individual to guide us during this stressful and emotional situation has put us at ease. We can not thank Margo enough and the Council of Aging for all their help. Thank you!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

If someone leaves a trust to a Medicaid healthcare recipient, does Medicaid just count the monthly stipend that goes to the recipient or the total amount left in trust? If the latter, it would then make them ineligible for Medicaid healthcare.

You apply by calling and giving your name to the intake person/ receptionist. From there there's a process that you have to go through. This process has alot to do with giving information, verifying information and then them determining if you are Eligible for services. Be persistent with your communication with COA.

My mom is in a nursing home and they are not washing her hair! Isn’t there a requirement for doing this regularly? What is it exactly?

Barbara Leik | Oct 18, 2018
kym jackson | Oct 18, 2018

If your mother refuses, that is her right to do so! No matter what he state of mind is, she still has rights...you could call in an obudsman and ask for ideas..but if your mother has Alzheimer's sadly most are terrified of water..so maybe try washing it yourself and see how she does...

Council On Aging | Oct 17, 2020

Hi Linda - There are a number of places you can get this type of phone free of charge. A Google search for "free caption phone services" will give you a good list of options, including one through AARP. Be sure to understand the requirements for the phone to work in your setting, for example, do you need both a phone line and internet access?
