Remember Me Series | From Case Manager to Community Bridge: Erica Dixson on Dignity, Independence, and the Power of Home

In this episode of the Remember Me Series, we shine a light on the incredible work happening through the Central Alabama Aging Consortium’s Gateway to Community Living program.

Host Renita Ray Davis sits down with Erica Dixson, Transition Coordinator and longtime advocate for older adults, people with disabilities, and those navigating mental health and substance use challenges. A proud graduate of Alabama A&M University, Erica has spent nearly 30 years helping Alabamians transition from nursing facilities back into their homes and communities with dignity and care.

Together they explore: ✨ What Gateway to Community Living means in practice ✨ How decades of social work experience shaped Erica’s approach to advocacy ✨ A real-life story that captures the heart of this program ✨ Why community-based care is transforming the landscape of aging in Alabama
