Service providers (continued from page 10) “With a growing senior population, home visits by doctors and other service providers are needed more than ever. Helping someone who can not otherwise get to you because of age, illness, or lack of transportation is very rewarding. People are usually very appreciative.” The client or patient simply logs on to the website to Find a Provider, enters state and zip code, selects from a list of categories that offers the provider’s profile, contact information, and fee for service. Patients call the provider directly to make a house call appointment. Many of the medical professionals accept Medicare and other types of insurance. There is never a charge to search for a provider: www. unitedhousecalls.com is a free search engine for the community. “Our database continues to grow daily and we welcome inquiries from any house call providers who would like to list with us,” Lilly Kliman added. To learn more, log on to the website and create a profile or contact Lilly Kliman, LCSW at (201) 314-6835 or LK429@aol.com.
