Saint Anthony Park Area Seniors

For more than 44 years a corps of volunteers has been helping older residents of the St. Anthony Park neighborhood in St. Paul, Lauderdale, and Falcon Heights west of Cleveland Avenue to stay healthy and safely in their homes. Our mission is to enrich the lives of community seniors and provide assistance in maintaining independence and interdependence through professionals and volunteers providing at-home living assistance, wellness activities, nursing care, and caregiver support.

This model of neighbors helping neighbors was started in 1981 by a group of visionary members of the community, with help from health-care professionals. From 1981 to 2011 we were known as the St. Anthony Park Block Nurse Program. We changed our name to St. Anthony Park Area Seniors during our 30th anniversary year. Since our beginning we have served over 3,500 seniors in our area. Our program, the first of its kind in Minnesota, has become a model for programs elsewhere.  As an organization, these programs are called the Living at Home Network.
