Home providers who have space to spare in their homes are offering a private bedroom, shared use of the common areas of the house and a chance to live in a home rather than an apartment in exchange for a modest rent, well below current apartment prices. Some exchange for services such as yard work, some housekeeping, errands or other jobs. One person in each home share arrangement must be 60 or over: younger people are encouraged to inquire. Please call 1-800-690-6998, or (860)887-3561, ask for the Home Share Coordinator. www.seniorresourcesec.org • Benefit Assistance for Medicare Beneficiaries North Central Area Agency on Aging 2 Hartford Square Hartford, CT 06106 Choices: Health Insurance Counseling (800)994-9422 Voice – Calls route to local AAA offices (860)724-6443 Voice Center for Medicare Advocacy 11 Ledgebrook Drive Mansfield, CT 06250 Benefits Assistance * Medicare Beneficiaries (800)262-4414 Voice – Toll Free Only in Connecticut (860)456-7790 Voice/TTY Senior Resources – Agency on Aging – Eastern Connecticut 4 Broadway, 3rd Floor Norwich, CT 06306 Choices: Health Insurance Counseling Choices Program (800)994-9422 Voice – Calls route to local Agency on Aging (860)887-3561 Voice (800)690-6998 Voice – In State Calls Only • Benefits Assistance for Older Adults Connecticut Lawyers Legal Aid to the Elderly 151 Farmington Ave. – Law, RC4A Hartford, CT 06156 Benefits Assistance (860)273-4303 Voice Serves: 60 and older Greater Hartford Legal Aid 999 Asylum Ave., 3rd Floor Hartford, CT 06105-2465 Senior Benefits Assistance/Legal Representation Senior Law Program (860)541-5030 Voice – Senior Law Program Serves: 60 and older North Central Area Agency on Aging 2 Hartford Square West, Suite 101 Hartford, CT 06106 Choices: Health Insurance Counseling Choices Program (800)994-9422 Voice – Calls route to local AAA office (860)724-6443 Voice Senior Resources – Agency on Aging – Eastern Connecticut 4 Broadway, 3rd Floor Norwich, CT 06306 Choices: Health Insurance Counseling Choices Program (800)994-9422 Voice – Calls route to local Agency on Aging (860)887-3561 Voice (800)690-6998 Voice – In State Calls Only The National Council on the Aging 1901 L St. NW Washington, DC 20036 Benefits Assistance/Spec Info and Referral Health Issues Benefits Checkup/Benefits Checkup RX • Burial/Cremation Expense Assistance United States social Security Administration – Middletown 425 Main Street 3rd Floor Middletown, CT 06457 Social Security Burial Benefits (860)347-8562 Voice (860)346-2776 TTY Connecticut State Department of Social Services Southern Regional Sub-Office Middletown 117 Main Street Middletown, CT 06457 Burial/Cremation Expense Assistance (860)704-3100 Voice – M,T,F:8am-4pm;W,Th:8am-12noon(W,Th pms Emergency Only) Connecticut State Department of Veterans Affairs 287 West Street Rocky Hill, CT 06067 Burial Assistance Veterans Burial/Headstone Allowance (800)550-0000 ext 5838 Voice Unites States Department of Veterans Affairs 555 Willard Ave., 4th Floor Bldg. 2E Newington, CT 06111 Burial Expense Assistance (800)827-1000 Voice – National #(routes to appropriate Regions VA office) (800)829-4833 TTY United States Social Security Administration 6401 Security Blvd. Windsor Park Bldg.
