About Us
Featuring 19th century farmhouse architecture, country charm envelops Elder Homestead via wraparound porches and gabled rooflines. Its cozy interior parlors and spacious gathering areas are inviting settings for the caring, individualized service our staff is known for.
At The Homestead, our philosophy is simple: We care for you and those you love as we'd like our family members cared for.
Elder Homestead is a Volunteers of America living and care community. Founded in 1896, Volunteers of America is a national, nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in need live healthy, safe and productive lives. Through hundreds of human service programs, including housing and health care, Volunteers of America touches the lives of more than 2 million people each year.

Policy of Inclusion
In addition to being one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive human-services organizations, Volunteers America is a ministry of service which demonstrates faith through acts of compassion and aid.
Yet we serve all people regardless of religion, race, color, gender identity, age, disability, citizenship or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, status as a protected veteran, among other things. You can see our inclusive service in action when you’re strolling the halls of our care centers in quiet Ohio towns, or visiting with a Hope House caseworker arranging safe shelter for a homeless woman in Spokane, Washington.
New opportunities to demonstrate our faith through action are presented regularly. In 2015, Volunteers of America was honored with the Excellence in Ageing Services Award from the International Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing. The award recognizes our senior living and care communities/programs staff dedication to tailoring support services and treating with dignity and respect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender older adults in their care.
While we measure our success in positive change in the lives of the individuals and communities we serve, as an organization, we're committed to complying with government regulations that ensure individuals' rights to receive care and be considered for employment without discrimination.
