The partnership is based on the successful Providence ElderPlace model already in place at the Marie Smith Center. Volunteers of America will provide day-center activities, such as meals, music, pet and art therapy, social activities and exercise classes, while Providence ElderPlace provides the medical and social services for all ElderPlace participants. Lambert House will continue to operate as an adult day program through Volunteers of America, even as Providence ElderPlace enrolls participants at this site. Lambert House was remodeled to add a Health and Social Center, physical therapy room, offices and more windows.
