Everyone deserves to feel secure and cared for, no matter their age. If you’re living on a fixed income, it can be hard to keep up with the rising costs of food, medicine, and daily essentials. SC Thrive is here to help. We connect seniors with programs that make life a little easier—whether it’s saving money on healthcare, accessing nutritious meals, or finding extra support when you need it most.

Medicare can be expensive, but you don’t have to manage the costs alone. The Medicare Savings Program helps eligible individuals pay for Medicare expenses, including premiums, deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and prescription drug costs.
If you qualify, this program can help you save money and reduce your out-of-pocket healthcare expenses—giving you peace of mind and financial relief.
SC Thrive can help you apply. Our team will guide you through the process and help screen for eligibility.
Eating well shouldn’t be a struggle. The Elderly Simplified Application Project (ESAP) makes it easier for older adults to apply for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. SNAP helps you stretch your grocery budget so you can buy food at grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and other approved locations.
You may qualify if:
• You are 60 or older
• You have no earned income
• You are not already receiving SNAP benefits
More than half of Americans over 65 will need long-term care at some point in their lives. Whether it’s assistance with daily tasks like dressing and bathing, skilled nursing care, or in-home support, long-term care services help older adults maintain their well-being and independence.
Long-term care looks different for everyone. It can be provided in a nursing facility, assisted living community, or even in your own home, depending on what you need. But for many South Carolinians, the cost of long-term care can be overwhelming.
Healthy Connections Medicaid may be able to help. If you or a loved one needs long-term care, SC Thrive can guide you through the process, screen for eligibility, and help with your application.
Caregivers are our unsung heroes. Today, one in five adults in the United States is caring for an aging loved one. That number will only grow. Caregiving is both rewarding and exhausting, but finding help and adequate resources is daunting. SC Thrive is addressing these challenges, linking caregivers with key providers and raising awareness through Caregiver Simulations and trainings.
