Senior Assistance Services & Case Management
TEEG helps seniors manage the day-to-day tasks to help them continue to live independently.

This program is available to seniors in Thompson, Woodstock and Pomfret. TEEG helps seniors manage the day-to-day tasks to help them continue to live independently. We work with seniors on budgeting, filling out confusing forms and referrals to appropriate services. Recognizing the difficulty many seniors have in accessing support, TEEG staff often make home visits to provide this needed service and assistance.

Visits are available in the TEEG office, at a community center and in home for seniors without access to transportation. TEEG services include the following:

• Budgeting
• Assistance filling out confusing forms, including DSS, Title 19 and SNAP (fka food stamps)
• Assistance with phone calls to local, state and federal agencies
• Advocacy
• Referrals to appropriate services
• Free monthly food distributions to qualified seniors
• Energy assistance during the fuel season to qualified seniors
• Assistance with Medicare/Medicaid questions
• Access to all offerings in the Food Security, Community and Family Programs
  and Prevention Programs
