Elder Network

Providing resources to age well

Elder Network strives to serve as a network to assist caregivers and care receivers
to find information, organizations and resources available in the community to meet an identified need.

We focus on helping older adults and caregivers to maintain their general health and wellbeing,
including their mental health; and to maintain independence and quality of life in a safe, supported environment.

Elder Network services Dodge, Goodhue, Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona Counties.
