Senior Services: Empowering Independence Through Knowledge

At CHES, Inc., we believe that financial security and housing stability are lifelong rights. That’s why we’re proud to expand our services to meet the evolving needs of older adults in our community. Our Senior Services section is designed to help seniors—and those who support them—navigate the complex systems that impact health, housing, finances, and legal rights.

The Ultimate Senior Resource

We now offer access to the free Senior Citizen’s Handbook, a comprehensive resource covering 23 essential topics for seniors. Whether you’re planning for the future, managing retirement, exploring healthcare options, or facing housing challenges, this guide provides practical and easy-to-understand information to help you make informed decisions.

Topics Include:

  • Social Security, SSI, and private retirement plans
  • Medicare and Medicaid (MO HealthNet)
  • Housing rights, landlord/tenant law, and reverse mortgages
  • SNAP benefits and tax relief programs
  • Power of attorney, guardianship, and end-of-life planning
  • Veterans benefits and expungement of criminal records
  • Consumer protection tips and avoiding predatory lending
  • Nursing home guidance, adult abuse prevention, and more

If you’re a senior—or caring for one—and have questions about reverse mortgages or other financial matters, our HUD Certified Housing Counselors are here to help.
