Our case managers personify that vision. Claudia, Abby and Susan in Brattleboro; Rhonda, Pam, Malcolm and Sue W. in Springfield; and Clarissa and Lynn in Windsor all embody this vision as they work tirelessly to coordinate home-based, long-term care services for their clients.
Another staff member who embodies this vision is Case Manager Supervisor, Gary Hilliard. Gary has trained and guided case managers at Senior Solutions for over 20 years. Read more...

Two years ago, after she retired and moved to Vermont full-time, Teri Heck wanted to get involved with people in her community. She has always enjoyed spending time with older folks, so she sought a volunteer opportunity that would enable her to support them. “If you like the company of others, what better way to find it than by being with others who like company,” she said. “Seniors have so much to share.”
