Welcome to HealthSET
HealthSET is dedicated to improving the lives of the low-income elderly. Our highly-skilled and compassionate nurses and case workers provide free health clinics and substantial follow-up care, acting as a bridge to the complex health care and social service systems. We give our most vulnerable seniors the tools to live independently which is key to preserving their quality of life.
A Client's StoryJoanne is a former nurse who has diabetes and has suffered multiple strokes. She now lives in poverty, and as a result of her strokes has great difficulty in communicating.
In order to manage her everyday tasks, she was paying a “friend” an outrageous amount for basic house cleaning and shopping. HealthSET learned that the amount charged ($900/month) was almost equal to the woman’s entire monthly income. A HealthSET Advocate helped Joanne break this arrangement and find affordable assistance.
Our staff is continuing to assist Joanne to make sure she receives the services she needs.
