To help serve our senior community, JFCS and Klein Older Adults now offers Senior Crime Victim Services to advocate for older adults who have been the victims of crime or elder abuse.
According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 1 in 10 seniors are victims of elder abuse, but only 1 in 24 cases are reported or detected. Seniors deserve to be protected – not because they are vulnerable, but because they are valuable to our community.
The Klein Older Adults Senior Crime Victim Services Program reduces the barriers seniors face when accessing the legal justice system. Our goal is to promote recovery from crime and increase awareness to avoid potential threats.
This non-medical service offers personal care and grooming, meal planning and preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders, respite, companionship and socialization. A comprehensive assessment is completed and a care plan is established to support safety and comfort in your preferred living situation.
PALS provides seniors with an affordable and convenient transportation option for non-emergency medical appointments, personal appointments, grocery shopping, general errands and more. Rides are provided door-to-door, door-through-door and door –through-appointment. Wheelchair accessible van is available.
Services begin with a comprehensive assessment to evaluate physical, cognitive, social, financial, spiritual and medical needs. A care plan is created to reflect the needs and desires of the aging person and plan for both immediate and long-term solutions that promote safety and well-being.
