Services

Life Services, Inc. tailors and personalizes our services to honor the needs and request of each client. We do not believe that one size fits all. Our services range from occasional assistance to the total care afforded by conservatorship. Services are fee for service. However, if a client's assets are depleted Life Services, Inc. will provide continued care through our Benevolence fund. Below find a list defining our services. Please contact us with any questions you may have. 

  • Professional Conservatorship

    Conservators are appointed and overseen by the court. Conservatorships are a legal protection for seniors who are unable to care for themselves or are victim of elder abuse.

  • Friendly Visitor Program

    The Friendly Visitor program provides social contact to isolated and at risk seniors. A trained and supervised volunteer visits each senior in the program 2-4 times a month depending on the senior's needs and interests.  LSI visitors are trained to do a mini- assessment making sure each senior is safe in their home as well as to identify if any services may be needed or may be of benefit to the senior. Visits will be approx. 1-2 hours in duration and will take place in the seniors residence or a common area. Volunteers will not transport seniors but are able to meet them at a different location if the senior can safely get there. NO financial or confidential medical information is to be disclosed to the volunteers and they will be asked to help seniors understand what information is private if they are struggling. The Friendly Visitor program is a resource for seniors who may otherwise not have the opportunity for socialization.

  • Daily Money Management Program

    Many seniors have the ability to live independently but are often overwhelmed by the the complex day to day management of their affairs. LSI has started a program where we provide the below listed services on a sliding scale to seniors who need assistance. This is not a one size fits all program, LSI staff will work with each individual, along with facility staff or family if available, to identify what the individual needs are and how we can best support the senior in the least restrictive manner.

    Services:

    • Filing
    • Bill Pay (will be bonded on any account we have privileges on)
