Who We Serve
Bridging the Gap of Van Zandt County serves seniors and in-home health patients who face unique challenges due to age, illness, or disability. Our focus is on individuals who are in need of resources and assistance that fall outside the scope of traditional healthcare coverage, such as mobility aids, home safety modifications, or other personal items essential for daily living. We particularly target those who may not have access to these critical resources due to financial constraints, lack of support, or gaps in insurance programs. By providing this vital assistance, we ensure that vulnerable community members—many of whom live on fixed incomes—are able to maintain their independence and quality of life, regardless of their circumstances.
Seniors on Fixed Incomes
Many older adults live on limited or fixed incomes, making it difficult for them to afford necessary items like mobility aids, home safety equipment, or even basic nutritional support. Bridging the Gap ensures these seniors receive the resources they need to live comfortably and safely in their own homes.
In-Home Health Patients
Individuals who are receiving in-home health care services often require specific supplies or equipment that aren’t covered by insurance programs, such as specialized beds, therapeutic devices, or home modifications. Bridging the Gap helps fill those gaps, ensuring patients get the care they need to recover or manage chronic conditions.
Veterans and Spouses
Veterans and their spouses sometimes face challenges accessing resources due to bureaucratic hurdles or a lack of comprehensive healthcare benefits. Bridging the Gap supports these individuals by providing critical resources that enhance their quality of life and help them remain independent in their homes.
Individuals with Disabilities
People living with disabilities often require specialized equipment or accommodations that are not covered by insurance or government programs. Bridging the Gap helps by providing mobility aids, home modifications, and other assistive devices that allow these individuals to live with dignity and autonomy.
Rural Community Members
Van Zandt County, with its rural landscape, can make accessing healthcare and necessary resources more challenging. Bridging the Gap specifically works to reach those in rural areas, ensuring that distance and isolation do not prevent seniors and patients from receiving the assistance they need to live safely at home.
