title: A pioneering full-service agency for older Americans.
abstract: As the over-60 population in America becomes a sizable majority with recognizable needs, ways are sought to serve those men and women who do not need to be institutionalized but who do need some kind of help in order to live independently. The Cardinal Ritter Institute in St. Louis offers "creative care for the older person," putting special emphasis on home health care and health maintenance.
