Providence ElderPlace Marie Smith Alternate Care Setting

Description :

The Volunteers of America Oregon Marie Smith Center is a community-based medical and social model of age. Our adult day center offers daytime respite services for caregivers and provide a supportive, therapeutic, and empowering environment for seniors and adults with a variety of health-related needs. Caregivers not only gain respite, but also assistance through the program’s advocacy, coordinated care, and support staff who bridge the gap between community partners. Our model is an innovative alternative to a community-based care that gives individuals with disabilities purpose, the ability to form friendships while reducing isolation, and receive participant-driven care.
