St. Mary Medical Center, in partnership with Catholic Housing and Community Services, has established the Family Caregiver Center to connect older adults to aging-in-place resources and services. The Family Caregiver Center provides seniors and their loved ones with information to help seniors remain in their community and live with dignity, health, independence and the highest quality of care.
“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 Director of Community Health & 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 Family Caregiver Center is now open telephonically. Seniors or their caregivers may call to receive a geriatric assessment and to learn about resources available that address their medical, social, legal, financial, home safety and other personal needs. Caregiver care managers will assist with determining next steps to develop a plan that answers individual concerns, which includes coordinating the right network of services and community resources.
As the coronavirus pandemic still poses a health risk to older adults, the Family Caregiver Center’s storefront location will be open to the public on a date to be determined. It will be located at 140 N. Pine St., Langhorne, in the Community Aid Refurbished Equipment Store (CARES).
