Catholic Charities offers a wide range of care options for older adults who require some assistance in order to continue to live safely within the community, rather than in a nursing home or attendant care facility. Adult day centers provide partial and full day care for seniors enabling their caregivers to attend to their employment and other family responsibilities. The adult day centers also function as resource centers for families and caregivers of older adults providing information on aging needs as well as educational opportunities and support for caregivers.
Catholic Charities also offers in-home support services that enable older adults to continue to live independently in their own homes. Brief respite care services and a ‘social model’ day care center are also available to help support older adults living in the community. Assessment and referral services are provided as needed.
Catholic Charities’ Ministry On Aging provides information and referral information to the families of older adults, parish consultation and collaboration on aging issues, community education, an annual Lifelong Adult Wellness Conference, and intergenerational volunteer opportunities. |
