Benjamin Charles Bennett “Tiny” Tech Lab

4 industry leading PC towers, with 27-inch monitors, internet access, and printer capabilities help connect our local seniors to the outside world and get them plugged into current technology.

Certified counselors are available to help with Medicare enrollment and plan selection.  All of our counselors have been trained in Medicare policies and can give you the information you need to make an informed decision about your coverage options. More on the new SHIP Counseling page.

OPTIONS COUNSELING

Clients who qualify for Options Counseling will be contacted by our caseworker here at the VNA. Those who do qualify and have been contacted by our caseworker will have monthly additional follow up calls, home visits, etc. Options Counseling is a case-by-case basis and more information will be given by the caseworker when clients who qualify are contacted.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT

We offer support and information for grandparents caring for their grandchildren and adult children caring for their parents. Programs, respite providers, services and links to available financial assistance are available in our office.

ADULT INCONTINENCE PRODUCTS

The client must be 60 and older or disabled to qualify for Incontinency Products through the VNA.
Our products here are in partnership with Loving Bottoms but are geared toward seniors at this facility.
Clients who are needing Incontinency Products should call the main number at (309)342-1152 to fill out an intake.
Since the office is closed, clients will then schedule a meeting time with our caseworker to pick up their products.

Meal Service is provided based on a suggested donation.

No individual will be denied service due to their inability to pay the suggested donation.
