A new center to help older adults age in place has been opened by St. Mary Medical Center.
The medical center worked with Catholic Housing and Community Services to open the Family Caregiver Center. The center was created to create aging-in-place resources and services for older locals, including helping with their medical, social, legal, financial, home safety, and other personal needs.

Seniors and their families can use the center to get information to help older adults to with “information to help seniors remain in their community and live with dignity, health independence and the highest quality of life,” according to a statement.
“We are thrilled to open the Family Caregiver Center and provide needed support to seniors as they age and to their loved ones as they transition to caregiver roles,” said Lisa Kelly, St. Mary Medical Center’s director of community health and well-being and volunteer services. “We aim to reduce the stress of managing multiple priorities to ensure older adults in our community receive the compassionate, whole-person care they deserve.”
The center is now open to provide services via phone for seniors and their caregivers.
