VETERAN FINDS SUPPORT TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY

1,297 seniors served in Denver, Larimer & Weld regions

Richard Hall was ill and wary about going to rehabilitation. That’s when Catholic Charities came in and helped the 90-year-old man connect with services to help him improve his health and live independently.

“We want to keep him independent for as long as possible,” said Roberta Trujillo, his case manager. “We keep an eye on him to make sure he’s getting home care, medical services, emotional support, and company.” Hall has lived for approximately 20 years at the Marian Plaza senior apartment center in Denver, an Archdiocesan Housing property. The military veteran brags about his one-bedroom apartment with a city view. Along with the apartment, Hall explains that the supportive staff like Roberta and the activities provided give him a great sense of community.

45 seniors provided additional services at St. Teresa Jornet’s Closet

376 seniors were provided resource and referral information in Denver
