Generally, Americans want to be independent. Independence, however, can become much more of a challenge as we grow older or adjust to a disabling condition. We may experience changes in our lifestyles and in our needs.
Most individuals remain healthy and are able to care for themselves while others need assistance in differing degrees to maintain their independence. This resource guide
describes a wide range of health, social, and support services available in Centre County. Different needs exist for those who are relatively healthy, those who might have slight impairments, those who are disabled, and those who are totally dependent on others for assistance. This guide is designed to help individuals, families, and friends to choose appropriate levels of support for older persons so that they can continue to live in the community, either in their own homes or in a more protective environment.
For most of us, it is difficult to admit that we or someone we love really needs some type of extra support or help. Sometimes, it is even harder to decide what we need and where to find it. This resource guide was created to provide you with enough information to find the support and resources you may need now—or in the future.
