WISE & Healthy Aging would like to thank the John Gogian Family Foundation for its grant of $120,000. Founded in 1982, the John Gogian Family Foundation is an independent, private, grantmaking foundation committed to supporting community-based organizations that support developmentally disabled children and adults, vulnerable seniors, and vulnerable youth. Their generous grant will support general operating costs and enhance our ability to continue meeting the needs of the older adults and caregivers that we serve.

Compulsive saving, acquiring and cluttering are complex issues that affect people of all genders and cultures. And, while the problem can begin in early adolescence, it often worsens in severity as a person ages.

To help older adults gain control of their "stuff", WISE & Healthy Aging is once again launching its popular, in-person 15-week workshop in late April, called "From Collecting to Decluttering." This workshop incorporates a positive, person-centered, cognitive behavioral approach that addresses compulsive acquiring and saving in older adults.

With no idea that there was an actual "Wear your Pajama's to Work Day," much less that they would be celebrating it early (it's in November), some of our ADC staff and clients dawned their PJ's and enjoyed the day's activities in comfort.

To celebrate the start of the Persian New Year, Nowruz ('New Day'), one of our ADC clients, Fery, explained the meaning of the Haft-Sin tradition to kick off the holiday.

Much of what we get done on a daily basis here at WISE & Healthy Aging, is with the generous support of our volunteers, who give of their time and talents to help us serve older adults. Currently, we are looking to recruit volunteers in our Adult Day Center and in Club WISE, our program for active seniors.

If you are looking to get away, but want to stay a bit closer to home, check out our Club WISE Day Trips! These trips provide great opportunities for older adults to see new places and make new friends! For more details on each day trip and/or to make reservations, please click on the button below.
