History
Incorporated in 2001, the Carol Strawn Center began operations with our adult
day service in March 2002.
Family Care Planning was added as a service to assist families in developing
in-home care plans in October 2002. In November 2004, this service was
expanded to include Caregiver Education classes for families who did
not require the assistance of our care planning service but who wished
to learn more about their loved one’s disease, care management
information and available community resources.
In November 2005, we began offering Memory Screens to individuals who
were concerned about their memory as a new service.
Our Center is named in memory of Carol Strawn, who was deeply concerned
for those with Alzheimer’s disease and who bequest her estate
to help take care of Licking County residents with this unrelenting
disease. Her dedication and commitment made our agency possible.
How We Are Funded
Funds received from service contracts with the Central Ohio Area Agency
on Aging and grants from the Licking County Senior Citizens Levy and
the Licking County United Way as well as private-pay service fees make
up the majority of our revenue. Contributions made by individual donors,
community organizations, and our own fundraising efforts provide additional
financial support for our services.
The Thomas J. Evans Foundation also provides the building in which
our agency is housed.
