Live Well Communication, what does it mean?

For those of you who attended Town Meeting on Monday, you heard me speak about a letters from Brewster Place in Topeka regarding their Live Well at Home Program. It’s my understanding that this communication went out to many people in the Manhattan community, including residents of Meadowlark Hills.

First, I want to make sure everyone understands that Meadowlark Hills did not provide a mailing list to Brewster Place for this letter, nor were we aware it was being distributed. While we have spoken with Brewster in December 2015 about providing services through their Live Well Program, nothing formal has been identified.

The Live Well at Home Program is essentially an insurance policy. You are assigned a Wellness Coordinator who helps you navigate and set up services such as transportation, emergency responder system, home health and long-term care. Participants pay an entrance fee and a monthly fee to be a part of the program. Brewster’s interest in Meadowlark Hills is to use us as a service provider in the Manhattan area.

Chris Nelson, Financial Services Director, and I will be meeting with the Live Well Program Director this month to discuss how to better work together and communicate about the services to those in the community.

Please contact me or Chris if you have questions regarding the Live Well Program or the letter that was mailed out. See you next week and thanks for stopping by!
