ElderHouse, a leader in serving aging seniors and their caregivers, is pleased to announce a new Executive Director, Julia Schwartz-Leeper, MSW. An advocate for older adults, Julia shares ElderHouse’s passion for providing adult day care as a vital resource for older adults and caregivers who wish to remain part of community life; and supports healthy aging that allows people to age in place with dignity.
