We attend to the comfort and nourishment of each person so that they can experience openness, a sense of community, and deep personal growth. Our programs also serve as a model of Spirit-Centered Care® for educational purposes. We provide opportunities for students and care-staff to learn hands-on from trained facilitators how to approach caregiving as a spiritual practice, engage in deep listening, and work from their own essence. Elderwise is committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for all people.

It opens the reader to the possibility that someone with memory loss can still expand in ways of the heart. Though relationships will change, they can still be meaningful and loving. “The Elderwise Way is an invaluable handbook for family members, caregivers and for professionals of all kinds who work with frail elders. It is a wise and contemplative book that gently encourages all of us to think differently about the elders we know and love, and also about what we want our own lives to look like when we reach old age. The Elderwise Way affirms what those of us who have walked this path with a family member or friend knows: essence is immutable, regardless of the physical or cognitive changes they have endured. I read this book with joy.” Ann Hedreen, Author, Her Beautiful Brain, and Documentary Filmmaker https://www.elderwise.org/home daily 1.0 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/cc259dd5-0ddc-402a-9e3f-b92105a99801/IMG_20230824_113346015_HDR+%281%29.jpg Home - Spirit-Centered Care Spirit-Centered Care® honors the essence of who we are and recognizes that a person is whole regardless of physical or cognitive changes.

At Elderwise, we acknowledge and honor the wholeness of all individuals, addressing what endures despite physical or cognitive changes, and nurturing joy, meaning, and connection in creative community. Spirit-Centered Care® encompasses five key elements of the Elderwise approach: Recognize and work from one’s own essence – to truly see someone else’s essence you must be aware of your own essence first. Recognize the essence of others. Hold a deep respect for our equality, no matter our present condition. Have an understanding that roles can instantly change. Actively develop and practice deep listening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/558ef3d5-2901-476c-8262-64c75a85303b/2024-03-27_12-02-29_591.jpg Spirit-Centered Care Spirit-Centered Care® is about what is deepest and most important to us, and this may be seen differently by different individuals. It is not the same as religious-based care. Spirit-Centered Care welcomes and honors people of all faiths, and people of no faith. As stated in the Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services (IRISS) report entitled, “Spirituality and ageing: implications for the care and support of older people,” that while there is much discussion about the definition of spirituality, ageing is a journey. Elderwise Spirit-Centered Care encourages growth and expansion of the heart during that journey. As Elderwise continues to work with frail elders, it is expected that our programming will offer researchers ample opportunities to explore the benefits of Spirit-Centered Care®. https://www.elderwise.org/community-partnerships daily 0.75 2025-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1634916587906-P37GN13KKHVLYSGFZCZR/Parks+and+Rec.jpg Community Partnerships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1634916624241-YPSDVATF2SXKX5RUEQRL/Momentia+at+Camp+Long.jpg Community Partnerships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/18599fec-7117-4635-b5b0-cc41039c7667/Best+poster.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/da396971-ee2d-4f4d-a2de-6979805a7cb2/Best+poster.jpg https://www.elderwise.org/bills-work daily 0.75 2023-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635360953433-EIYP3P9DZO1BG8DU8FMA/Screen+Shot+2021-10-27+at+11.54.00+AM.png Bill's Work Rainbow Sail https://www.elderwise.org/pattys-work daily 0.75 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635436189699-0JIFT5V0MVB9AYNTRR73/Patty+Harold_01_Blue+Spiral+on+Light.jpg Patty Harrold Blue Spiral on Light https://www.elderwise.org/jiliannas-work daily 0.75 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635439528458-ZJ3R1WV4Q0ICLI286YBV/Juliana+Yin_01_Scalloped+Celebration.jpg Juliana's Work Scalloped Celebration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635439462910-0A9BFL2W03A2KS2RW9UN/Juliana+Yin_02_Woven+Blue.jpg Juliana's Work Woven Blue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635439110803-TI5X1EN5J0QM3WWLLGO7/Juliana+Yin_03_Golden+Fish.JPG Juliana's Work Golden Fish https://www.elderwise.org/ricks-work daily 0.75 2023-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635438924352-STQNAYAM9KNASC4DFS4K/Rick+King_03_Blue+Arches.JPG Rick's Work Blue Arches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635439354105-5M5BQ18R1EHEUPLUQHBT/Rick+King_01_Vase.JPG Rick's Work Vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635439004266-DA1QDGG3WZ09JZ6RKLNZ/Rick+King_02_On+Golden+Sand.jpg Rick's Work On Golden Sand https://www.elderwise.org/normans-work-1-1 daily 0.75 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f4975372db40740f8f0cda/1635436073881-PUK9CBK1XKMSHBVRQBCO/Norman+Danielson_01_Yellow+Rounds+the+Corner.jpg Norman's Work (Copy) (Copy) Yellow Rounds the Corner
