💜Delores and Roger have been married for nearly 50 years, and are still going strong. The couple have lived through many changes and challenges. Since 2020, they have been working with a Supports Planner from The Coordinating Center to support Roger's complex medical needs since his stroke.

Delores shared her story of being Roger's caregiver, and told us about how how the support she's received from The Center has made a difference in her life. She hopes that sharing their story will encourage more people in need to reach out for help and discover what The Coordinating Center can do for them.
