Welcome to Sanford Center for Aging

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life and well-being among elders through education, translational research and community outreach. We bring this mission to life through a variety of programs, services, educational coursework and clinical services, all designed to improve the quality of life for elders.

Support for caregivers and care recipients starts here

With funding from Community Care Corps, Sanford Center for Aging will pilot an in-home volunteer companionship program supporting both caregivers and care recipients equally. Our goal is for caregivers to feel supported and more confident in their caregiving journey, as well as for care recipients to enjoy friendly visits. Learn how you can be involved as a client or a volunteer.
