The Home Instead Center for Successful Aging will offer specialized services aimed at helping seniors age better and live healthier lives. This unique facility will be the only free-standing center tied to an academic medical center focused on aging in Nebraska and the region. The closest similar center is the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging in Little Rock at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
The $10.2 million facility, funded entirely by private donations, will sit just south of the Weigel Williamson Center for Visual Rehabilitation at 38th Avenue and Leavenworth Street and create a centralized location for geriatric medicine and psychiatry on the UNMC campus. Construction on the three-level, 31,000 square-foot center is expected to be completed in the spring of 2010.
