Our story
From vision to legacy
Janet Goeske, our founder and namesake, fought to improve the lives of seniors well into her eighties. Her tireless efforts led to many accolades over the years including the incorporation and establishment of the Janet Goeske Foundation (JGF). Her vision, and now legacy, was to develop a Center specific to meeting the needs of our senior community members. Through her tenacity, the Janet Goeske Center was dedicated on May 18, 1984. Over the past 40 years, the Foundation has continued to grow and serves over 10,000 monthly patron visits.
