In-Home Financial Management
Trained volunteers provide monthly assistance with bill paying, budgeting, checkbook balancing and benefits. Contact us when physical or cognitive impairments limit an older adult's ability to handle finances or when the death of a spouse leaves the survivor unprepared to handle finances.
Volunteer financial managers are always needed. Set your own schedule. We provide training and support.
Call us at 585-244-8400 to learn more.

Please call Jennifer Helmbold at 585-287-6403 for more information about guardianship.
"Lifespan is guardian for one of my clients, Anna. Anna has always been strong-willed. She chose to stay in her apartment even as her physical disability continued to grow worse. Lifespan is her guardian and that care was the only reason she was able to continue to live in her apartment. When that was no longer feasible, Lifespan again came to her rescue and made arrangements for her care."
