Mission To provide supportive services and programs to older adults in West and Northwest Philadelphia. Founded in 1817 as a refuge for poor elderly women, we continue our work today with programs and services that make it easier for people to age in their communities. We do this through care management, home care, home repairs, fitness classes, education, encouraging social connection and providing wellness opportunities. As the needs of older adults continue to change, so too will Ralston. We value the trust and confidence placed in us and are committed to listening to and being champions for those aging in our communities. (87 words)
