Senior PharmAssist, Inc.

Senior PharmAssist is a trusted nonprofit that helps Durham County seniors 60 and older be as healthy, connected and engaged as possible – for as long as possible – by helping them:

• Pay for medications if they have limited incomes
• Manage medication use to increase the benefits and decrease the risks from medicines
• Access valuable resources such as Medicare subsidies, in-home aide services and medical transportation
• Evaluate Medicare-approved health and drug plans; this service, which can save individuals significant expense, is available to any age/income beneficiary at no charge (though donations are encouraged)

After participants work with Senior PharmAssist for two years, they report a 51% decrease in their rate of any hospital stays. They also report feeling better and maintain their ability to perform tasks such as feeding and dressing on their own, among many positive outcomes.

Senior PharmAssist is located in the downtown Durham Center for Senior Life, 406 Rigsbee Ave., Ste. 201. For more information call (919) 688-4772 or visit www.seniorpharmassist.org.
