At Your Side Goals

The goal of At Your Side is to help aging individuals better understand their medical issues, and to be a supportive voice throughout the healthcare process.

The trained volunteer advocates’ primary mission is to improve communication between the elderly or other individuals, and their medical provider to ensure the person obtains a clear understanding of their medical issues. The end result of open communication is the client’s improved ability to make more informed decisions about their healthcare and better follow through on their doctor’s recommendations. 

Doing so will, hopefully, enable them to maintain their health and independence, and in turn to remain at home (if appropriate)
and/or achieve a good quality of life.
