Successful Aging Programs
Wilder’s concern for Saint Paul’s older adults dates back to 1906, when the Wilder Visiting Nurse Department became the Foundation’s first direct service program. It was designed to provide in-home nursing care to people who were ill, many of whom were elderly.
Today, Wilder’s Home Health and Supportive Services serve a similar purpose, providing health monitoring, medication assistance, rehabilitation and other health care and supportive services that help Saint Paul’s older adults remain at home and as independent as possible. Wilder’s Community Services for the Elderly operates several other in-home or community-based services for older adults and their families. For many older adults, remaining as independent as possible in their own homes is a key factor in how satisfied they are with their lives.
Programs and services for older adults:
Adult Day Health
Affordable Housing

For family caregivers, it can bring peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are receiving quality services and care.
