Mission

HERE AT SENIOR CHARITY CARE, WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY SENIOR SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE, REGARDLESS OF INCOME OR INSURANCE STATUS. OUR MODEL FOCUSES ON AFFORDABLE MOBILE HEALTH CLINICS. WE BRING DENTAL AND VISION SERVICES DIRECTLY TO OUR CLIENTS.

Program accomplishments

• FORMALLY ESTABLISHED IN 2011 AS A UTAH-BASED 501C3 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, THE MISSION OF THE SENIOR CHARITY CARE FOUNDATION (SCCF) IS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ELDERS IN NEED. OUR PURPOSE IS TO REDUCE HEALTHCARE DISPARITIES AMONG SENIORS IN POVERTY BY ADDRESSING GAPS IN MEDICAID/MEDICARE FOR DENTAL CARE, HEARING AIDS AND PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES, AND IT IS THROUGH OUR CHARITY CARE PROGRAM THAT WE ACHIEVE OUR MISSION AND PURPOSE. FOR DENTAL CARE/DENTURES, SCCF HAS BEEN OPERATING MOBILE DENTAL CLINICS SINCE 2015. SCCFS MOBILE DENTAL CLINICS REMOVES THE TRANSPORTATION, AFFORDABILITY AND MOTIVATION/FEAR BARRIERS BY BRINGING HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE DENTAL CARE TO THE SENIOR RESIDENCES. A DEDICATED TEAM OF LICENSED CONTRACTED DENTISTS AND SCCF HYGIENIST, SPECIFICALLY TRAINED IN EVIDENCE-BASED GERIATRIC CARE, WILL TRAVEL TO ROSE COVE SENIOR APARTMENTS (OR ONE OF THE OTHER SITES) AND PROVIDE A FULL-DAY CLINIC AT LEAST FIVE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE GRANT PERIOD. DENTAL SERVICES INCLUDE THE EXAM, X- RAYS, TREATMENT PLANNING, CLEANINGS, EXTRACTIONS AND FILLINGS, SEMI- PERMANENT CROWNS AND DENTURES. AMERICORPS MEMBERS WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE SENIORS TO COMPLETE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION, MAKE REMINDER CALLS, AND COLLECT OUTCOME DATA AND FEES. FOR PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES, SCCF OPERATES OUR OWN MOBILE VISION PROGRAM. A LICENSED OPTOMETRIST AND OPTICIANS WILL VISIT THE FACILITIES/SENIOR APARTMENTS TO SEE UP TO TWENTY RESIDENTS IN ONE DAY. THE RESIDENTS WILL BE PRESCREENED AND PREQUALIFIED BY OUR AMERICORPS MEMBERS TO ENSURE THAT THEY MEET OUR PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND TO OBTAIN MEDICAL HISTORIES ENSURING THAT THEY ARE READY TO SEE THE OPTOMETRIST ON THE ASSIGNED DAY. FEW SENIORS QUALIFY FOR MEDICARE COVERAGE FOR THEIR VISION EXAMS, BUT FOR THOSE WHO DO, THEY STILL CANNOT RECEIVE EYEGLASSES THROUGH TRADITIONAL MEDICARE AND THOSE WITH ADVANTAGE PLANS; AND, BECAUSE THEY ARE IN POVERTY AND ON FIXED INCOMES, THEY FIND THAT THE CO-PAYS ARE COST PROHIBITIVE. OUR OPTICIAN WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE SENIORS TO MAKE SURE THEY SELECT GLASSES THAT WILL WORK FOR THEM AND TO DELIVER THEM APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, ENSURING THEIR FIT. WE ARE ASKING EACH SENIOR TO PAY 50 TO COVER THE COSTS OF THE EYEGLASSES REGARDLESS OF MEDICARE COVERAGE. FOR HEARING AIDS, WE PARTNER WITH THE STARKEY HEAR NOW FOUNDATION WHO COLLABORATES WITH US TO GIVE THE GIFT OF HEARING TO SENIORS IN NEED BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY HEARING AIDS AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE (250 PER SET). RETAIL COSTS FOR NEW HEARING AIDS CAN BE UPWARDS TO 10,000. WHEN A SENIOR APPLIES FOR HEARING AID ASSISTANCE FROM SCCF, ONE OF OUR AMERICORPS MEMBERS MEETS WITH THE SENIOR TO HELP THEM THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS WITH THE STARKEY HEARING FOUNDATION. THE SENIOR IS ASKED TO PAY 20-30% OF THE HEARING AID COST (50-75). IT TAKES ABOUT A MONTH FOR THE STARKEY FOUNDATION TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION. HEARING AIDS ARE SENT TO THE AUDIOLOGIST AND THE SENIOR IS CONTACTED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE HEARING AID FITTING. ADDITIONAL COSTS SUCH AS BATTERIES AND ADJUSTMENTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SENIOR. SENIOR CHARITY CARE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS QUALIFYING SENIORS ON AN ONGOING, YEAR-ROUND BASIS, AS FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE. TO QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE, A SENIOR MUST BE: AGE 55 (OR OLDER), UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED, RESIDE IN A SKILLED NURSING, ASSISTED LIVING OR HUD-FUNDED (SECTION 8) OR (BELOW MARKET RATE RENT) SENIOR APARTMENT; AND, REPORT AN INCOME AT OR BELOW 200% (24,280 FOR A SINGLE PERSON HOUSEHOLD AND 32,920 FOR A TWO-PERSON HOUSEHOLD) OF THE 2018 FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. SENIORS CAN ACCESS OUR APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE OR BY MAIL. SENIORS TYPICALLY ARE CHARGED A NOMINAL FEE OF 20-30% OF THE COST, WHICH GIVES THEM DIGNITY BUT WE NEVER SEND THEM TO COLLECTIONS IF THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY. SCCF PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES RENDERED ARE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE CARE PROVIDER, NOT TO THE SENIORS THEMSELVES. WE HAVE GROWN FROM SERVING ONLY TWO SENIORS IN 2011 TO SERVING 806 SENIORS IN 2018. CURRENTLY WE SERVE SENIORS FROM SALT LAKE, UTAH, WEBER, DAVIS, SUMMIT, TOOELE AND WASATCH COUNTIES. THE SENIORS WE SERVE ARE NOT A FACELESS, ANONYMOUS GROUP; THEY ARE OUR GRANDPARENTS, PARENTS, AUNTS AND UNCLES; INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SPENT BUSY, THRIFTY LIVES LOOKING AFTER THEIR LOVED ONES. NOW THEY NEED A HELPING HAND TO ENSURE THEIR FINAL CHAPTERS ARE ONES OF IMPROVED HEALTH, FULFILLMENT AND ENGAGEMENT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE NEED THE NEED FOR OUR SERVICES IS PROFOUND AND EVER INCREASING. IN THE NEXT 25 YEARS, UTAH'S POPULATION OF SENIORS, AGES 65 AND OLDER, WILL DOUBLE, BOTH IN NUMBERS AND AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE STATE'S POPULATION. IN UTAH, THERE ARE 115,543 SENIORS, AGE 55 AND OLDER, THAT LIVE AT OR BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL (CENSUS.GOV). INADEQUATE MEDICAID/MEDICARE COVERAGE FOR DENTAL CARE, EYEGLASSES, AND HEARING AIDS CAUSE SENIORS THAT LACK PRIVATE INSURANCE AND LIVE IN POVERTY, TO GO WITHOUT THESE ESSENTIAL SERVICES. ACCORDING TO THE 2024 CDC ORAL HEALTH SURVEILLANCE REPORT, UTAH RANKS "POOR" FOR PROVIDING ORAL CARE TO OLDER ADULTS. RESIDENTS RESIDING IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES ARE UNDER THE CARE OF CNA'S AND NURSES; HOWEVER, FACING MANY DEMANDS FOR THEIR TIME, ORAL HEALTH IS OFTEN NEGLECTED. POOR ORAL HEALTH LEADS TO POOR OVERALL HEALTH, COMPLICATES DIABETES, DEMENTIA, HEART CONDITIONS AND RESPIRATORY DISEASES, AMONG OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND CAN LEAD TO DEATH. FURTHERMORE, MEDICARE/MEDICAID IN UTAH DOES NOT COVER PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES OR HEARING AIDS. ACCORDING THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DEAFNESS AND OTHER COMMUNICATION DISORDERS (NIDCD), NEARLY 25% OF THOSE AGED 65-74 AND HALF OF THOSE OLDER THAN 75 HAVE DISABLING HEARING LOSS. AMONG ADULTS AGES 70 AND OLDER WITH HEARING LOSS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM HEARING AIDS, FEWER THAN ONE IN THREE (30%) HAS EVER USED THEM. EVEN FEWER (~16%) ADULTS AGES 20-69 WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM WEARING HEARING AIDS HAVE EVER USED THEM. VISION LOSS CAN ADVERSELY IMPACT THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OLDER ADULTS IN MANY WAYS, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR THOSE IN CARE FACILITIES ARE AN INCREASED RISK OF FALLS AND FRACTURES, MAKING IT MORE LIKELY THE PERSON WILL BE ADMITTED TO A HOSPITAL OR NURSING HOME, BECOME DISABLED OR DIE PREMATURELY; AND AN INCREASED RISK OF DEPRESSION. (CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS, "TRENDS IN VISION AND HEARING AMONG OLDER AMERICANS," MARCH 2001). MEDICARE PROGRAMS HAVE ALSO SUFFERED SEVERE CUTS AND SOME MEDICARE/MEDICAID ADVANTAGE PLANS HAVE HIGH COST CO-PAYS. WHILE WE HAVE TRIED TO PROVIDE SENIORS WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO HELP WITH THE CO-PAYS WE HAVE FOUND THAT NEGOTIATING RATES WITH OUR PROVIDERS IS OFTENTIMES LESS COSTLY THAN THE INSURANCE CO-PAYS AND THE DENTISTS THAT ACCEPT THEM. WE FIND THAT SENIORS THAT LACK INCOME AND INSURANCE COVERAGE TYPICALLY GO WITHOUT. AS A RESULT, SENIORS IN POVERTY ARE SUFFERING FROM MALNUTRITION, PREVENTABLE TOOTH/MOUTH PAIN, LOSS OF EYESIGHT, HEARING DIFFICULTIES AND COGNITIVE ABILITIES, WHICH HAS SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES, PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY - AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. OUR SOLUTION FORTUNATELY, SENIOR CHARITY CARE FOUNDATION HAS DEVELOPED COST-EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. FINALLY, PAIN FREE, EATING GOOD FOODS, BEING ABLE TO READ, HEAR CONVERSATION AND LISTEN TO MUSIC ONCE AGAIN; OUR SENIORS REPORT BETTER OVERALL WELL-BEING, AND AN IMPROVED SENSE OF SELF-ESTEEM. SOME HAVE EVEN SAID THAT, WITH THEIR PERSONAL DIGNITY RESTORED, THEY HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO VOLUNTEER, ONCE AGAIN GIVING BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN ORDER TO MEET THESE GROWING NEEDS, SCCF HAS BEEN EXPANDING THE REACH OF OUR SERVICES THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AMERICORPS PROGRAM DUE TO ITS COST-EFFECTIVENESS AND ALIGNMENT WITH OUR SHARED GOALS. THE IMPACT OF INCORPORATING THE AMERICORPS PROGRAM INTO SCCFS SERVICE DELIVERY HAS ALREADY EMPOWERED US TO REACH OVER 806 SENIORS IN 2018 (WE SERVED 497 IN 2017). THROUGH OUR AMERICORPS PARTNERSHIP, WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF INTENTION INTO STRENGTHENING OUR DATA COLLECTION METHODS TO DEMONSTRATE OUR MEASURABLE OUTCOMES, ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINS TO DENTAL CARE. WE NOW DEPLOY TWO SENIOR SURVEYS (ONCE AT THE TIME OF THEIR INITIAL VISIT AND AGAIN AT 6-12 MONTHS). AS THE ONLY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION WORKING TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO CRITICAL NEED ITEMS LIKE DENTAL CARE, EYEGLASSES AND HEARING AIDS FOR MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME SENIORS THROUGHOUT UTAH, SENIOR CHARITY CARE FOUNDATION FILLS A CRITICAL GAP IN ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY SERVICES.
