We aim to combat isolation, promote wellness, and empower seniors from all walks of life to lead vibrant, connected lives.
Your support helps transform the lives of seniors, including aging veterans who face unique challenges such as higher disability rates and limited access to resources. Together, we can provide quality care, foster social connection, and ensure every senior enjoys the dignity of independent living.
Your support helps seniors access the care and community they deserve. Every donation makes a lasting impact.
We connect seniors with vital healthcare resources, including telehealth consultations with licensed professionals. For those who have served, this access is even more critical: 28% of Texas veterans live with a disability, twice the rate of nonveterans, making convenient, reliable care a necessity. Through our platform, participants can manage chronic conditions, seek medical advice, and access emergency support without leaving home.
Transportation is a critical need for seniors, and even more so for older veterans with mobility challenges. Lack of reliable transportation remains one of the top barriers to care, often resulting in missed medical appointments and reduced independence. Our service provides dependable rides for essential errands, medical visits, and grocery trips, keeping seniors connected to their communities and their health.
We understand the importance of emotional and social well-being. Research shows that social isolation can increase health risks by as much as 50%, and aging veterans are particularly vulnerable due to post-service transitions and mobility challenges. Through both virtual and in-person interactions, our companionship programs offer seniors and elderly veterans meaningful connections, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Navigating the complexities of benefits and community resources can be overwhelming. Many senior veterans are eligible for programs and services but lack access to the right information, resulting in millions of dollars in unclaimed benefits each year. HST offers personalized guidance to help seniors understand their options, apply for programs, and feel empowered to make informed decisions.
“HST helped me get to my doctor’s appointment when I didn’t have anyone to take me. They even checked in afterward to see how I was doing. It’s like having a family that cares.”
“The telehealth feature is a game-changer. I can talk to a doctor without leaving my house, which is so helpful when I’m not feeling well. I feel safer knowing I have support at my fingertips.”
