Client Stories
E is an 82-year-old widow in the Canton area.
E lives alone with her beloved cat, Garfield. She has one son who visits often. Since enrolling in the PASSPORT program, E has shown significant improvements in her life both physically and socially. E was prone to falling, and would not seek medical treatment. She would stay alone in her apartment with only her son to visit, refusing to leave for fear of falling outside in public. With PASSPORT, E has sought out needed medical treatment. She has also had a geriatric assessment, and she sees her doctor regularly with the assistance of PASSPORT providing transportation. E no longer has to do the chores around her home that were increasing her potential for falling and now has the needed assistance of a personal care aide in her home. In addition, E attends Adult Day Service weekly allowing her to actively socialize.
