CONWAY — Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference in the quality of life for seniors and individuals with disabilities. A weighted spoon that helps a Parkinson’s patient. Safety equipment for a bathroom. Or minor modifications to a home that makes it more accessible.
But oftentimes these long-term care patients can’t afford these items. Coverage for these types of needs fall into the crack between long-term care Medicaid, Medicare and federal programs like Title XX/TitleIIIB, which covers direct care but not supplies. Visiting Nurses Home Care and Hospice can now provide support to these vulnerable low-income patients, thanks to the generosity of the Pequawket Foundation of North Conway, which recently awarded a $2,000 grant to VNHCH to help those in need.
