It's Time to Think Differently About Aging & Dementia

At The Chris & Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging & Dementia of Mercy, older adults living with chronic conditions, such as dementia, and their caregivers are empowered to lead satisfying and fulfilling lives.

All are welcome at the DeWolf Innovation Center. We offer supportive programming for older adults looking to age in place, older adults living with dementia and caregivers in hopes of making all experiences a little bit easier. Whether they need emotional support, guidance, or assistance with complex systems, our staff and volunteers know how to help.

Each component of the center represents our future-focused philosophy. Age- and dementia-friendly insights continue to drive our decisions and guide innovation.
