In 1988 a group of Atwater citizens decided the town needed a program to help the seniors living here. They had heard of the Living At Home Block Nurse neighborhood model in the Twin Cities and recreated it in Atwater. We became the first outstate program in Minnesota. Our mission is the same now as it was in 1988: to serve the senior population of our town and the surrounding townships.
