The Geriatric Advisory Program, GAPRO, is a clinical/educational service for family members, caregivers and friends of elderly persons who are suffering from emotional or behavioral problems. These disorders affect their lives as well as the people around them.

The mission of GAPRO is to provide specific education and support so that relatives and other concerned parties can help these older individuals live the fullest life possible in their latter years. With this information family members can make the right determination regarding the proper placement for their loved one.  From home to retirement community to nursing home and all levels in between, you will be able to make the correct decision and better the life of your family member.
