Mount Sanford Tribal Consortium has been awarded an Aging in Place Grant for the Elders in Chistochina and Mentasta. This is a continuation of the Elder Care grant. The program’s purpose is to help all Elders in both villages.

Program Goal:

The goal is to develop a cost effective, village based model that enables Elders to remain in their homes during the remaining years of life.

Program Objective:

Document the development of the program to serve as a model in other villages in Alaska.

Expected Outcome:

The expected outcome is that the documentation of the project will provide a model, information and assistance for other Tribes in developing village based programs.

The program is in the beginning stages and we are all looking forward to working together and helping all Elders in both villages. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Program Director:
