Welcome to CORA’S!
We are an intergenerational center providing Adult Day Health Care and Spa Services, as well as, Respite Care for adults 18 years and older by providing a home like environment in partnership with our 5-star friends at Marizetta Kerry Child Development Center in the historic West End of Charlotte, NC. As one of three intergenerational centers in NC, CORA’S will provide interaction between children in the child development center and the “neighbors” (as the participants of CORA’S are called). Intergenerational programming has been shown to provide benefits for both adults and children. Adults feel valued, as they can share their knowledge and experience with young people. And children learn empathy when they can visit and interact with elders.
About Us
CORA’S Intergenerational Center is the vision of the Senior Minister of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church. His passion for seniors and children led him to envision an intergenerational opportunity for these diverse ends of the human aging spectrum. Rev. Dr. Clifford A. Jones, Sr. tasked a small group to research the need and the possibility of creating an intergenerational center in partnership with Marizetta Kerry Child Development Center, which has served the community for 50 years. A non-profit was formed by a volunteer Board of Directors and CORA’S Intergenerational Center was born.
Services
We Care
At CORA'S Intergenerational Center, we believe in the power of connection across generations. As one of only three intergenerational centers in North Carolina, we are proud to offer a unique blend of services that nurture the mind, body, and spirit of our adult participants—affectionately known as our “neighbors.”
We provide Adult Day Health Care, Spa Services, and Respite Care for adults ages 18 and older in a welcoming, home-like environment. Our programs are designed to support wellness, independence, and meaningful engagement in daily life.
