Services
The Andrus Gerontology center is committed to implementing social change for the good of our elderly population. Service programs include aiding older adults and their families in coping with Alzheimer's disease, through the efforts of the USC Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC). Support for caregivers is another top priority, via programs such as 48 Hours! Caregiver Retreats.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
