Easter Seals' Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Inter-Generational Center:
As a regional, national and international model of excellence, the center strengthens families, enriches the lives of individuals with disabilities and creates stronger communities locally and across the country.
As the region’s first intentionally built “shared site” the center will impact the lives of thousands of children and seniors with disabilities and their families for years to come and will deliberately influence a new “culture” of intergenerational shared sites and programs. The Inter-Generational Center brings together Easter Seals core services under one roof:
Adult Day Services that provide daily social and medical support for adults with age-related impairments allowing them to age with dignity in the community, while supporting caregivers and preventing “burnout” from the responsibilities of caring for a family member.
Children’s Services that provide child/youth development programs to families through after-school programs, tutoring, mentoring, summer enrichment programs, volunteer/community service opportunities, and interactive intergenerational programs.
Assistive Technology Center that provides the latest in low and high technology solutions minimizing the functional impact of a person’s disability.
Therapy Services that provide occupational, physical, and speech/ language therapy services both in-center and in the natural environment of home, schools, and other community-based settings.
Family Caregiver Resources that meet the educational, referral and support needs of families caring for a senior or child with a disability.
Intergenerational Programs which will facilitate regular contact between seniors and youth and engage the neighboring community through a variety of programs in a regular flow of different types and ages of people throughout the center.
