Specialized Programs for Seniors with IDD

Every person deserves the opportunity to age with dignity, choice, and the support they need to live a meaningful life.

At Redwood Family Care Network, we partner with older adults and their families to provide compassionate, person-centered support tailored to each individual's needs, preferences, and goals. As people age, their needs and priorities may change, and we help individuals and their circles of support navigate those changes while promoting independence, connection, safety, and quality of life.

Supporting Aging with Dignity & Independence

  • Daily Living & Community Support

    Individualized assistance with everyday activities, personal goals, social connections, and community participation—helping each person stay engaged in the people and places that matter to them.
  • Long-Term Planning & Care Coordination

    Guidance for individuals and families as they plan for changing needs, explore available services and resources, and coordinate supports that promote long-term wellbeing and quality of life.
