True Gems Of Our Community
Our Local Team of Caregivers
To enable aging-in-place, we set out to strengthen the local support around our seniors. Our local team of caregivers are the main point of contact, they are key.
How It All Started...
Facing Our Own Challenges
When we were going through the struggle of caring for aging parents, we were not searching for help from formal health services but, rather, help from an informal, more familiar support system.
Our parents needed a deeper kind of attention, someone that could relate to their culture and language. We needed a way to keep a home and work life.
That’s why we built Centro De Amigos.
Our Community
Serving The Large Concentrated Population Of Latinos In Rockland
We found our calling serving the Village of Haverstraw’s latino community.
Communities that are usually left behind should have the healthcare resources they need to thrive locally, enabling seniors to age in the place they know and love. Centro De Amigos is the only adult care center in Rockland County that offers care to latino community.
We collaborate with local leaders, healthcare organizations, providers, caregivers, and universities to ensure that happens.
