Dear Santa Fe Residents, Welcome to this year’s edition of the Family Caregiver Resource Guide. It’s not only helpful and informative—it also should give you all the reassurance you need that here in Santa Fe we have excellent resources to help families get the help their elderly loved ones need and deserve.

Santa Fe is a community that cares—now more than ever. Especially in these extraordinary times, we come together to look after each other. When people are in need, the people of Santa Fe reach out to offer help. This City is compassionate, caring and connected.

This spirit is the heart and soul of Santa Fe. You can see it in the way our senior residents live, work and play. And you can see it in the many ways people and organizations provide support and assistance to seniors and their families. In Santa Fe, we are all in it together, especially when the times are challenging. We pull together to help so everyone comes through together.

Within the City of Santa Fe government we have a dedicated Senior Services staff that offers help in many ways: From transportation and mobility to home care and nutrition, from recreation to outreach. You can find all of this information and all of these resources in this guide. Put it to use. Make it your own navigational device.

Keep it handy as a resource for you and your family to use.

If you have questions or suggestions, please reach out to our staff. They want to hear from you and they are there to help.

ptpubco.com

And most important, thank you. We are grateful for all you do for our older Santa Feans. They mean a lot to our City, to our community and to you. Their wellbeing is critical to the wellbeing of Santa Fe.

Thank you,

Gino Rinaldi, Director Dear Readers, We at the City of Santa Fe’s Division of Senior Services take great pride in our offerings for senior citizens throughout the City. For individuals age 60 and above, we provide vital services such as nutritious meals in a congregate setting or delivered directly to our homebound neighbors; door-to-door van transportation; and in-home support services including home management and respite for family caregivers. Additionally, we offer a wide range of fitness and art classes, computer labs and exercise equipment rooms, support for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren, health promotion and consumer safety workshops, Senior Olympics, Bingo and billiards, dances with live bands, and many volunteer opportunities.

Most services are free of charge, but some request a small suggested donation.

The goal of the Division of Senior Services is to enable our older population to remain as healthy and independent as possible, living at home or in the community with improved well-being. We aim to support our seniors as well as their families through our services. In an effort to address our community’s changing priorities, we continually evaluate our services through our senior program public hearings, surveys, and input from the public.

We appreciate the opportunity to support and collaborate with the Family Caregiver Resource Guide once again. Please see the detailed descriptions of our programs and services further in this guidebook.

Due to COVID-19 we currently “Closed” all access to our Centers. We are still providing home delivered meals and transportation for medical appointment only.

We look forward to seeing you at any one of our five centers once the current closure order has been lifted.

Sincerely, Gino Rinaldi, Director City of Santa Fe Division of Senior Services
