Paul, Enrichment Center MemberFor some, a visit to SourcePoint can be energizing,

inspiring, or educational. For one Delaware resident, his

visits may have been life saving.

Paul, who’s been a regular at SourcePoint for more

than six years, started using the facility’s fitness

center. He was looking for an alternative to his

previous gym, and someone recommended SourcePoint.

He got started on an exercise program, and since then

has lost 10 pounds and has lowered his high blood pressure to a much healthier 127 over 60.

“It has been great for me. I met a lot of nice people

here and I just kept coming,” said Paul. “I’ve been really happy with SourcePoint and I tell

everyone that I run into about it.”

What enrichment center members have to say... “I saw that SourcePoint had aquatics, line dancing, table tennis, and a lot of other activities, so I came and took a tour. I was blown away by how close it was and how nice it was. I just fell in love with it.”

–Wendy

“It’s a great place. There really is something for everybody!” –Bob

Wendy, Enrichment Center MemberWhen Wendy first moved to Delaware, she saw a copy of My

Communicator (SourcePoint’s bimonthly newspaper) and the

“Thrive after 55” slogan caught her eye.

“I came over that next day and took a tour,” Wendy said.

“I was blown away by how nice it was. I just fell in love

with it.”

Since her tour, Wendy is at SourcePoint nearly every

week to play table tennis with what she calls “a

competitive, but very nice group.” She uses the

fitness center, and has also gotten her husband to

accompany her. She’s told all of her friends “how amazing this place is.”

“SourcePoint also has classes that focus on

caring for older parents, and Alzheimer’s,

and people my age are all getting into

that,” said Wendy. “I’m so excited that SourcePoint is here to

help us.”

Our MissionThe mission of SourcePoint is to help our community set a course to live well after 55 .

Aleda and Alexander, Community Support ClientsMarried for 62 years, Alexander and Aleda moved to Ohio when Aleda got sick and Alexander

realized he needed help. They moved to Powell to be close to their daughter. While their

daughter is their “number one” support system, Alexander said he would be lost without

SourcePoint. “They are a real help and a blessing,” he said, “a lifeline.”

Alexander and Aleda receive a variety of in-home care services from SourcePoint, including

transportation to medical appointments, homemaker services, emergency response buttons,

and respite.

Without SourcePoint, “we would not be able to stay together,” said Alexander about his wife. “Money is one thing,

but good will is everything. They are beautiful people.”

Why use our professional care consultants? Potential clients sometimes ask why they should work with one of our care consultants, rather than obtaining services on their own:

Convenience Perhaps you would benefit from more than one service—for example, housekeeping and an emergency response system. If you hire companies directly to provide those services, you’ll have to coordinate appointments, billing, and customer service issues with each company. But when you work with our care consultant, she’ll handle all the arrangements for you, and you’ll receive one simple monthly statement.

Security Our service providers have undergone a detailed review prior to being accepted into our program, and they are reviewed again each year. Every staff member coming into your home has had a thorough background screening as well.

Cost Savings Because we receive bids from a number of providers, and because we contract for services for more than a thousand clients, we can often offer a more affordable price than you could obtain on your own. Plus, SourcePoint’s services are available on a sliding fee scale—so your co-pays will depend on your own financial situation.

Trusted Expertise Your care consultant is a licensed professional who specializes in issues associated with getting older. Working one-on-one with you, our care consultants can often spot and prevent problems before they occur. Simple suggestions, such as adding grab bars in a shower or an emergency call button in your home, can help prevent falls and preserve your health.


Community Support14

Nutrition & InsuranceSourcePoint’s Community Support Program also incorporates our nutrition and insurance departments.

Our nutrition program provides Delaware County residents with a variety of healthy options. Our

certified insurance specialists offer classes, workshops, and one-on-one appointments to help you

better understand your Medicare options.

NUTRITIONFarmers Market Vouchers Qualifying residents receive vouchers for fresh foods from local farmers markets.

Meals on Wheels Including special therapeutic meals with restricted carbohydrates or low sodium.

Social Dining Centers

What our clients and caregivers have to say... “SourcePoint was a lifesaver. It’s such a blessing to remain at home.” –Genny, Community Support Client

“I am new in this role and the tools help make my journey as a caregiver positive.” –Jane, Family Caregiver

“I have the emergency response system because I’m by myself a lot of the time. I really needed something like that. I also have SourcePoint transport me to my medical appointments. I really appreciate those services. They are a big part of what helps me to continue living independently.” –Betty, Community Support Client

“It’s relieved me to know that there are people caring for them while I work, and that the relationships between my parents and their providers are friendly and supportive.” –Lois, Family Caregiver

“I can’t say enough good words about what they’ve done for me. Delaware County is the luckiest place in the world.” –Dianna, Community Support Client

“Thank you for the help my mom needed to be able to live independently the last years of her life. Thanks for the lunches and friendly delivery servers, trips to the grocery and to get her hair done, cleaning her apartment, helping to reduce her electrical bill, and just being there.” –Marsha, Family Caregiver

“Thank you for the many ways SourcePoint makes growing older in Delaware County the best place to live for seniors.” –Barbara, Community Support Client


Family Caregiver ProgramBeing a caregiver for a partner, parent, or loved one takes a great deal of time, effort, and hard work.

But you don’t have to do it alone! You deserve reliable resources and helpful information to take care

of your loved one as well as yourself. Those resources are available at SourcePoint. More information is

available online at www.MySourcePoint.org.

Caregiver Support Groups

Family Caregiver Coalition The coalition provides caregivers with a voice so that we can ensure that we are providing the services that best meet your needs.

One-on-One Consultations Free, private consultations with our caregiver program coordinator to discuss and help resolve issues that arise on one’s caregiving journey.

Powerful Tools for Caregivers This national, evidence-based program helps family caregivers develop tools and strategies to face the challenges of caregiving.

Ned, Family CaregiverDelaware resident Ned was already familiar with SourcePoint

—he delivered Meals on Wheels for about 10 years—when his

wife, Maxine, became more in need of a caregiver.

“She had a stroke, and over the last few years I’ve

needed to become a full-time caregiver for

her,” said Ned.

His new role drew Ned to the caregiver

support group at SourcePoint.

“The monthly meetings involve other

caregivers, and we have shared experiences and have more or less been a backup to each other,” Ned said.

Ned said he considers himself

lucky; their daughter lives

close by and helps often.

And SourcePoint assigned a

care consultant, who visits

during the year to help Ned

and Maxine contract for

housecleaning and other

services they may need.

“It’s been very good to have

SourcePoint,” Ned said. “It’s just nice to know you

don’t have to be alone in

going through this.”
