SHELTON Echo Hose Ambulance’s agreement with Valley Emergency Medical Services will stem what city officials called a growing health emergency spurred by the cost of a paramedic.
“The city was concerned that our residents who were covered by Medicare were not calling 911 for medical emergencies or refusing the paramedic service due to the (separate paramedic) bill,” said Mayor Mark Lauretti. “The agreement will stop the second bill that a medicare recipient would receive and was not covered by insurance.”
Discounts on services and products that benefit seniors are being offered by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI). Saving money on valuable and needed services has never been as important to millions of seniors, says Jesse Slome, director of the long-term care insurance organization. We are pleased to start making available special discounts that can benefit individuals, especially if and when they need care.
The organization announced it has started posting discounts on AALTCI s website. The first discount is a meal preparation service that can be invaluable for those who are housebound and unable to shop and prepare healthy meals, Slome notes.  Chefs For Seniors can customize meals based on dietary needs and the costs may even be covered by an individual s long-term care insurance policy.
