WHEAT RIDGE – Seniors’ Resource Center (SRC) is excited to announce that it will conduct a groundbreaking ceremony on a brand-new, state-of-the-art Adult Day & Respite Services facility at 11 a.m. Monday, July 12 at the agency’s Wheat Ridge location, 3227 Chase St..

Congressman Ed Perlmutter will join State Senator Moe Keller, Senator Betty Boyd, Wheat Ridge Mayor Jerry DiTullio, Jefferson County Commissioners Kathy Hartman, Faye Griffin, and Kevin McCasky, as well as additional elected officials and the SRC Board of Directors, staff and community supporters for the special ceremony.
SRC, a 32-year-old leading non-profit provider of person-focused, coordinated services to enhance independence, dignity and quality of life for seniors, has raised 61 percent ($5,320,032) of its $8.7 million Capital Campaign goal to construct the new, 17,000 square-foot facility. This represents the first phase of SRC’s long range expansion plans.
The agency launched the Capital Campaign in 2006 as its board of directors began soliciting major gifts and identifying community leaders and board members to serve on a Capital Campaign Cabinet.
  This one-of-a-kind design built facility will double capacity for Adult Day & Respite Services for SRC seniors and their caregivers – a growing critical need in the metro area aimed at helping seniors remain independent for as long as possible.
“This building will also give us a platform to expand services in each of our seven program areas,” said John Zabawa, SRC President/CEO. “In these challenging times, services for our communities’ seniors are more important than ever. We all continue to age and when tough times occur, requests for services increase at a rapid rate.”
Among the many features of the new building, including a dementia specific art therapy room and a beauty shop/massage room, there will be a courtyard memory garden, which is a secure area to provide a relaxing spot for SRC’s Alzheimer’s clients.

SRC Adult Day & Respite Services offers care for adults with memory loss, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, developmental disabilities, head injuries and other chronic illnesses.
The services offered within the Adult Day program include daily planned activity periods, nutritious breakfast and lunch, wellness checks and assistance with medication, staff assistance with activities of daily living and family and caregiver support.

To volunteer, make a contribution, or inquire about a service, call (303) 238-8151 in metro Denver or (303) 674-2843 in the Evergreen/foothills area. Visit SRC online at www.SRCAging.org.
