Outreach Information

Medical Equipment Loan Closet

             Are you or anyone you know in need of assistance?

Our Outreach staff meet with the elderly and disabled Westport residents either in their home or in the office to assess the individual’s needs, to explain community programs and benefits, and assist with applications for programs such as Fuel Assistance, Food Stamps (SNAP), and other benefits. The Outreach Workers also assist elders in crisis; they are mandated reporters for suspected elder abuse,  neglect, and financial exploitation. The Outreach Workers and all Council on  Aging staff are bound by strict confidentiality laws and are not allowed to release any information without permission.

Certified SHINE Counselors, Andrea and Susan, offer free, confidential counseling on all aspects of health insurance to anyone on Medicare. Call the center to book an appointment.

SNAP Coordinator, Cindy, will be happy to discuss programs available for farm-fresh produce or assist you with an application.

If you would like to make a referral to the Council on Aging Outreach Workers contact   Andrea, Cindy, or Susan at 508-636-1026.
