We bring resources & activities directly to you & your loved one
Activity Pathways Founder Nancy Richards’s passion for eldercare was sparked by the GREATS in her life. Both grandmothers came to live with her family, making it a household of eight plus great-aunts & uncles who exposed her to the beauty of books, playing games, making room for one more & laughing. They showed her that being with someone who is sad, confused, or ill can be a powerful experience. Intrigued by the depth of their lives, she learned to appreciate the family members who preceded her & the importance of generational strengths. Nancy views aging as a sweet journey of life & sees that each person has hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. She believes that it is through those special experiences, opinions, creative talents & brilliant creations that souls can connect. 
Activities are a natural bridge to bring everything together in a place & time to help people share life’s journey, soul to soul.
Now, she & the AP Team bring that same compassion & dedication to working with your loved one & strive to treat every elder client like family. Since they believe so strongly in advocating for and providing home care for elders, they do everything possible to deliver activities wherever your loved one lives.
