How Do Individuals Receive Help from GaPS?

A variety of agencies refer individuals in need to GaPS.  Hospitals and nursing homes, human service centers, senior centers, independent home care agencies, social services, and banks.  Referrals also come from attorneys, doctors, and nurses, judges, families, and neighbors.  GaPS often serves as a safety net for the elderly and chronically mentally ill who often need services to remain independent, but are unable to secure needed services.

We evaluate the individual's situation, consulting with family, friends, physicians, social service agencies, banks, attorneys and other concerned individuals, and coordinate needed residential, medical, and financial assistance.
