After receiving her doctorate and masters
degrees from Case Western Reserve University, Dr. June Pearce
was determined to create a space within the community that
would be dedicated to meeting the needs of older and disabled
individuals. In 1994 Dr. Pearce realized that goal by founding
Age Line,
an adult day center that services the needs of seniors and
handicapped individuals.
Four months after founding Age Line, Norma Robinette--our
current Chief Operations Officer--joined Dr. Pearce in a very
small three-room office in Rocky River. This would be Age
Line Home Health Agency's headquarters for one year.
In January of 1996, Ms. Robinette and Dr. Pearce renovated
a lovely Victorian home on Cleveland's west side. It would
serve as both Age Line's home office, and a place where the
elderly and those with disabilities could gather to engage
in fun, therapeutic, and life-enriching activities, from educational
field trips, to guest speakers, to physical strengthening
and memory stimulation exercises. But our Adult Activity Center
is only part of what we do.
If you're looking for help with light cleaning around your
house, or a hand to help you in and out of the tub, we have
a homemaker service to provide help around the house. If you're
looking for a competant caregiver to check your vital signs
and monitor your medications, you need look no further than
Age Line's Home Health Services. Our home health aides and
homemaker helpers provide reliable and courteous service both
at the Age Line Adult Activity Center and in our clients'
homes.
Additionally, Age Line's escorted transportation
service runs a fleet of dependable vehicles dedicated to shuttling
seniors and those with disabilities to destinations of their
choosing. Our goal is to allow our clients to maintain the
feeling of independence that comes with mobility. Naturally,
escorted transportation to and from the Age Line Adult Day
Services facility can be arranged.
Unlike most home offices, the Age Line facility truly feels
like home. Far too many adult day care facilities more closely
resemble sterile laboratories than meeting places. Age Line
isn't a hospital, clinic, or nursing home. It is your
home--from the fireplace, to the front porch, to the well
lit, high ceilinged areas where Age Line visitors congregate.
You will find that the surroundings are exceptionally comfortable,
the people are wonderful, and the care is second to none.
Quality adult day care is hard to find, so whether you're
a caregiver looking for reliable day services for a disabled
relative, or if--not getting around so well anymore--you'd
just like to know that a helping hand is available when you
need one, we encourage you to pay us a visit. The facility
is fully handicap accessible, and our trained staff is always
happy to assist you.
Serving Cleveland's west side, Age
Line is a private pay service for the elderly and disabled,
and has no affiliation with Medicaid or MediCare. Age Line
clients are neither bound by contract, nor required to use
Age Line's services for more than one hour at a time. It is
our belief that you will return to Age Line because you have
received the highest caliber of care, not because you have
been roped into a long term caregiving contract. We truly
appreciate our clients, and would be grateful to have the
opportunity to serve you.
