In Your Community – NEPA
Having home care support does not mean you need to stay in your home! Our office team is active in the community and familiar with popular events and spots for social outings. Our caregivers can challenge you or a loved one to a board game or a trivia contest just as easily as they can accompany them to bingo night, the movies, family events, a ball game, or a fun shopping trip.
If your loved one is active and simply needs companionship or supervision, our caregivers are happy to take a walk with them along the Susquehanna River (or sit on a bench and watch the kayaks go by!). Patron of the arts? Caregivers can accompany your loved one to a show at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts! The sky’s the limit. Our goal is to make sure your loved one has the quality of life they deserve with the support they need.

By providing health and wellness services, the role of the Active Adult Center is to reverse or delay the need for more intensive services.
