Aging In Place Services

There is a natural desire to live as much of our lives as possible in our own homes and communities. In fact, 90 percent of seniors living in the U.S. want to age with independence at home, and that is why we are here.

SWIRCA's compassionate and highly trained, professional staff provide specialized, person-centered care and assistance to older adults and those living with disabilities who wish to age in place with better health outcomes and at a lower cost than institutional care. We are here to assist you and your family in navigating the complexities of accessing in-home and community-based services and long-term care. For further assistance, contact our offices at 812-464-7800 for more information.
