Blair Senior Services, Inc.

Blair Senior Services, Inc. Blair Senior Services, Inc. serves individuals of all ages through diverse programming and in senior is part of the nation’s aging network.

The Federal Older Americans Act of 1965 established the Federal Administration on Aging and in 1973, amendments to the Act mandated states to establish Area Agencies on Aging based on units known as Planning and Service Areas. Pennsylvania made the decision to designate counties as these Planning and Service Areas. In 1974, Blair Senior Services, Inc. was founded as the Area Agency on Aging for Bl

air County. While the majority of the Area Agencies on Aging across the Commonwealth are operated by county government, the Blair County Board of Commissioners chose to establish Blair Senior Services, Inc. as a private non-profit corporation. Of the current fifty-two Area Agencies on Aging which serve the Commonwealth’s sixty-seven counties, only nineteen are non-profit corporations. In addition to meeting the needs of older adults, Blair Senior Services, Inc. serves residents of all ages through diverse programming and contracts that help provide transportation, housing, assessments, and volunteering. Our professional staff and volunteers are dedicated to the principles and values of dignity, empowerment, advocacy, and respect. The Agency is governed by a fifteen member Board of Directors. Three Advisory Councils also offer input and guidance to Agency services and programs.

Understand Your Medicare, Medicaid, and Long-Term Care Benefits

PA MEDI is a free health insurance counseling program designed to assist Pennsylvanians with Medicare. The Pennsylvania Department of Aging created PA MEDI to help Medicare beneficiaries better understand their health insurance options and make sound decisions about what is best for them. PA MEDI counselors can answer your questions about original Medicare, Medicaid, supplemental insurance, Medicare Advantage Plans, long term care insurance, and Medicare prescription drug plans. Our counselors can:
• Help you decide which Medicare health plan is right for you by explaining how each plan works, its benefits, its coverage amounts, and its costs
• Help you understand your health insurance benefits by reviewing your Medicare Summary Notice or Explanation of Benefits, which explain what services have been paid for, what you may owe, and what your appeal rights are
• Explain various assistance programs that may help pay your Medicare deductibles and Part B premium and assist you with the necessary applications
• Explain the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit (Part D) and the various assistance programs that may help pay the premiums, deductibles and co-pays
If you or a family member needs assistance with Medicare-related issues, please contact the Agency’s PA MEDI Local Coordinator at (814) 946-1235, ext. 1016.
