You can make a difference in the lives of Arizona seniors
Only 2% of American philanthropic dollars are directed to senior care.
We couldn’t do this without your help.
Thank you for joining us in our mission to provide extraordinary care and make a difference in the lives of seniors in need. As a nonprofit, we rely on the generous support of our community in order to provide care and hope to our members and their families.
Over 5 Million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and a new diagnosis occurs every 67 seconds. Often, families are encouraged to place their loved one in a facility with minimal support, information, training, or hope. Oakwood’s Clubs allow individuals to remain at home for as long as possible, by providing a safe place for caregivers to entrust their loved one during the day. Our clubs offer enriching classes in art, movement, music, gardening, poetry, history, spirituality, wellness, nutrition, medication management, nursing care, training, and support groups.
