| Cooking With Class is an event created
in 2002 by Connie Adams and Eileen Mintz to benefit two Providence Senior and Community Services
programs.
Providence ElderPlace, a PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care
for the Elderly) program serving King County, is an innovative model of
frail elder care and the only PACE program in Washington. ElderPlace
provides transportation to and from its facility each day, bringing
participants and their care providers together. Participants receive
a hot meal, socialize with staff and other participants, and meet
with their doctors. Our comprehensive, high quality health and
social services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each
individual, assisting them in remaining as healthy and independent
in the community for as long as possible.
Heritage House at the Market serving King County, was established in 1990 at the
Pike Place Market, offers a quality urban lifestyle with the
assisted living services that people want and need. Heritage House
was the first assisted living community in Washington to serve a
diverse population including the needy and disenfranchised.
Apartments and common spaces have breathtaking views of Puget Sound
and the Olympic Mountains. Heritage House is the result of a
public/private partnership among Providence Health System, the
Seattle Housing Authority, Pike Place Medical Clinic, City of
Seattle, and State of Washington. Because of our mission and
specialized services, the residents’ average length of stay is
nearly double the national average in assisted living. |
