1. Choose a path
The first form asks only for practical routing information and contact details.
2. We contact you
We do not ask you to send medical records, medication lists, Social Security numbers or financial account data.
3. Decide who may contact you
Participating providers may compensate Vermont Senior Care for marketing or introductions.
4. You choose
We do not guarantee availability, price, eligibility, suitability or outcomes.
Choosing a path when you are not sure
If a relative is living at home and struggling with meals, bathing or getting to appointments, the home path is the closer fit.
If the home itself has become the difficulty, because of stairs, distance from family or a safety event, the community path is the closer fit.
If neither describes the situation, the not-sure path exists so that nothing has to be decided on the first call.
Picking a path does not commit a family to it.
The same request can be redirected once the conversation shows that a different kind of help suits the person better.
How the request form works: what it asks
The form asks which path you are considering (help at home, a senior living community or not sure), the type of care, how soon you are thinking of starting, the town and ZIP code, and who the request is for.
It then asks for a first and last name, a phone number or email address depending on how you want to be contacted, and your consent to be contacted.
It has no field for diagnoses, medications, insurance numbers or financial details, and a request can be submitted without any of them.
What happens after you send a request
A request comes to Vermont Senior Care, not to every provider in the state.
A person reads it, checks the town, the kind of care and the timing, and answers the way you asked to be reached.
If a separate provider could help, we say who it is and ask before any detail goes to it.
Nothing is booked, priced or promised at that stage, and you can stop at any point without giving a reason.
Families who want to look first can read the county and town guides, the licensed-settings directory and the cost pages, none of which needs a form.
