75% older adults want to remain in their own homes as they age and yet for many there are numerous barriers.  Saluda Living in Place (SLIP) helps to reduce those barriers and help residents to live longer, healthier and more enjoyable lives.  We believe that a strong senior community can be a rewarding place to live, with seniors serving as an asset to each other and the entire community.  Our goal is to change the experience of aging through access to services and health care, opportunities for education and social activities and opportunities for community involvement. 

Saluda Living in Place is a 501 c 3 organization.
