The center provides in-home, in-office or telephonic assessments that make it easy for seniors, along with their loved ones and caregivers, to access information and services that optimize quality of life.

The center offers a menu of comprehensive services, including one-on-one consultations with geriatric specialists, resource coordinators and Dementia and
Alzheimer’s Disease specialists.

Experts from the center also specialize in education, home safety assessments, caregiver referrals, medication support, living options, adult day care programs and geriatric care management.

These resources will help older adults, loved ones and caregivers overcome the many challenges they face throughout the aging process.
