The Boston Money Management Program
The inability to pay bills can be one of the most frustrating - and
frightening - aspects of getting frail. That's why Ethos and its
two sister agencies - Boston Senior Home Care and Central Boston
Elder Services -- created the Boston Money Management program.
Boston Money Management is a program that helps frail, low-income elders
balance their checkbooks, pay their bills and complete other financial
transactions. Specially trained and supervised volunteers work directly
with elders or, in cases where greater control is required, as
'representative payees.' In either case, money managers allow elders to
remain at home even though increasing frailty may mean they can no longer
keep up with their personal finances.
