Nursing Home Without Walls
Supports and services to help you age at home.
Nursing Home Without Walls is a program that empowers Seniors to age in place by helping improve their quality of life. A Senior Navigator will help provide assistance in connecting Seniors and their formal or informal Caregivers to the support resources and social health activities available in our community.
We are excited to provide our seniors with these services that will enable them to age in place for as long as possible.
