Helping Hands for Heroes is a nonprofit organization part of the Childs Foundation aiming to make seniors feel comfortable and keep them healthy. Childs says that they opened after hearing about seniors being dropped off at local hospitals with nothing but their clothes on their backs and nowhere to go. The organization accepts Medicaid and has partnered with the VA, allowing their services to be provided for free.
They are pending for Medicare. Helping Hands for Heroes offers free healthcare, case management, and legal assistance to those aged 55 and older. But the facility isn't only for homeless individuals β seniors living alone or with family members are also welcome. Prior to its grand opening, Helping Hands for Heroes has been undergoing a soft opening with a few clients, including McCain.
