Congratulations to our colleagues in senior services at the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation in Saint Paul.  They recently opened their new Community Center for Aging, which is located at 650 Marshall Avenue in Saint Paul.  Several of us from Ecumen had the opportunity to tour the Center last week.  It’s focused on an integrated, non-residential care model.  Participants are able to access a broad spectrum of services based on their individual needs.  On any given day, an older adult might work on a project in the art room, visit a health care professional, and consult an Alzheimer’s specialist with their caregiver — all under the same roof.

Changing aging is leading to new resources to empower seniors and their families.  Congratulations to Wilder in their changing aging work.  If you’d like to tour the Center, go here for future tour dates.
