Senior Celebration

As people age, it is sometimes harder to get out of the house and socialize and make new friends. That's why a group of seniors got together to start a community choir. Together, the seniors are able to leave the house, explore a fun talent, and make new friends.

 

 

Reimagine Aging

Younger generations and older generations have a lot to learn from each other! Now more than ever, it's important to come up with creative ways to combat isolation, not just for seniors, but for people of all ages. When we interact with people who are older or younger than us, we learn from their experiences and build unique relationships that make our communities stronger.

Multigenerational Connections

We've all experienced bouts of loneliness, isolation, and sadness in our lives. Isolation disproportionately effects seniors and current health risks leave many in need of a their community. Today, we invite your family to think about the importance of community support while staying at home and how you can help combat senior isolation.
