At GEDCO, we believe that Baltimore’s older adults, regardless of their incomes, should have access to the highest quality of housing with supportive services. We accomplish this through our housing communities of Gallagher Mansion and Stadium Place, and additionally through our activity center, Senior Network of North Baltimore. We also offer housing and support for people with disabilities over the age of 55 at Epiphany House.
All individuals should live meaningful and engaged lives. Our goal at GEDCO is to empower older adults in Baltimore City, to age with dignity in a thriving community having purposeful experiences.
Why Older Adults?
Of the many individuals overlooked and without a voice, older adults are the largest in our community, and as Baby Boomers age, this population is becoming larger. There are many struggles which older adults can encounter including abuse, dementia, physical disabilities, chronic diseases, diversity/minority issues, income insecurity, and more.
What Can GEDCO Do?
Through housing with supportive services, GEDCO is able to create stable, engaging and meaningful homes for older adults and seniors. Our full time staff and supportive services include Activity Coordinators, Service Coordinators, transportation, Eating Together lunch programs, fresh and discounted/free produce, and so much more. By growing our housing communities, we hope to be able to reach a larger population of individuals who are truly in need.
