A Caring Plus Inc. Programs: Focused on Aging with Grace and Dignity
By nurturing and engaging seniors to actively live their lives, A Caring Plus Inc. is providing solutions for a growing, aged population.
SILP
Senior Independent Living Program
With assistance from the state of Missouri, A Caring Plus Inc. has developed a naturally occurring retirement community in Jennings, Missouri, that allows residents to age comfortably in their own homes. Assistance is provided to senior residents who live within a two-mile radius of 6350 Garesche, St. Louis, MO 63136. The center’s many services include health screenings, social outings, exercise classes, and seminars pertaining to senior living.
SILPs are communities or neighborhoods in which a significant number of residents are older residents, typically over 60 years of age. These areas were not initially planned as retirement communities, but in a natural progression, these communities have become “older” communities, as many of the residents have lived in their neighborhoods for many years and have aged in place. Such communities are typically lacking the services necessary to allow the seniors to maintain their health and well -being so that they can live independently, remain in their own homes and in their own community.
To fill this void, A Caring Plus Inc. is partnering with the Community Action Agency of St. Louis County, St. Louis County Police Department, YMCA of greater St. Louis and local colleges/universities to assist with neighborhood needs assessments and local health centers and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to help with health screenings and other supportive services.
Our SILP resides in Jennings, Missouri allowing residents to age comfortably in their own homes.
