State launches web site for seniors, disabled adults

Posted to: News


Governor Timothy M. Kaine today announced a new state website aimed at helping the elderly and adults witih disabilities to find information about services, benefits and other support programs.

The site - www.easyaccess.virginia.gov - provides information for seniors, the disabled and caregivers about community support, emergency preparedness, transportation issues, financial support and more. The site is searchable by city and includes VirginiaNavigator, a list of more than 21,000 state programs.

The site allows users to email questions and provides important phone numbers. Starting in the fall the site will allow users to submit a Medicaid application.

Useless to seniors

As a care giver to my live in grand parents I find this website USELESS to "THEM". I am sure that it will be usefull to myself and my wife but my grandparents struggle just to use the TV. Not to mention the time they attempted to watch a movie in the upstairs theater. Not to be negative, but I think a mailer or better information at senior centers would be a greater investment for seniors.
