Services
The Center for Healing & Wholeness Resource Consultant, Jeanne Schuller, MSW works one-on-one with seniors and family caregivers to help them find resources through community agencies, county, and state programs. She has helped people find senior housing, assisted living facilities, or helped them find services to be brought into their homes.
Jeanne works 2 days/week, and she can set up an appointment to assist individuals or families through a private consultation. There is no cost to this service, though donations to the Center are always appreciated. Contact Jeanne at 952-929-1697 ext. 46.
In addition, here are links to web sites of organizations and initiatives or events around supporting these family caregivers:
Senior & Family Caregiver Resource Toolkit
With funding from our Partners in Care project we have created the Senior & Family Caregiver Resource Toolkit. This toolkit is designed to encourage seniors and family members to work together as they plan for their older years. It is a joint project of the Normandale Center for Healing & Wholeness, Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church, and the Edina Resource Center.
This toolkit can be purchased for $10 (our cost) by calling the Center for Healing & Wholeness at 952-929-1697, or you can download sections of the toolkit in PDF format here. We revised information in the toolkit in early 2008.
Partners in Care is a collaborative project with funding from the State of Minnesota, Department of Human Services.
