Every month, the folks at Serenity Assisted Living and Memory Care bring in a guest to It Takes Two with Amy and JJ to discuss the various agencies, opportunities, activities or news for senior citizens.
This month, we welcome Lynn from the Senior Linkage Line Minnesota to talk about their service.
What is Senior Linkage Line?
“The Senior LinkAge Line
®
is the Minnesota Board on Aging’s free statewide information and assistance service. The Senior LinkAge Line® service is provided by six Area Agencies on Aging that cover all 87 counties of Minnesota and helps connect you to local services.”
Lynn goes on to explain that the line answers all types of questions – such as utility assistance, nursing home options, etc.
- Medicare
- Prescription Drug Expense assistance for Minnesotans of all ages
-
Health Insurance Counseling
- Forms assistance, including help applying for Medical Assistance and Medicare options

One of the largest call times is during Medicare open enrollment. Dozens of calls a day with questions about the program, what should be done and seeking help with planning.
