Aging Together

It takes a village, and that is at the core of our mission: Aging Together through partnerships connects people to communities and resources to improve quality of life as we age.

In our rural communities, aging can be a positive experience but can sometimes present challenges. Families may face long distances, limited services, and complex systems that are difficult to navigate. Too often, older adults and caregivers don’t know where to turn - and critical needs go unmet.

Aging Together is changing that.

Each year, we connect older adults, caregivers, and families to essential support - helping them access resources in our community such as healthcare, housing, food, transportation, and more. The Regional Resource Guide for Older Adults is an excellent example of this - a trusted, easy-to-use guidebook that provides information for our 5-county region.

Aging Together is a driver of innovation: Did you know that Aging Together helped to launch these wonderful programs and services in our region?

• Generations Central – An intergenerational adult day center for adults living with dementia
• Two’s Company Home Visitation – reducing isolation through meaningful, in-home connection
• "Healthy IDEAS" – improving mental health and reducing depression among older adults
• Two Village Models in our region, designed to help older adults age in place comfortably and independently in their own homes
• The Dementia Education Conference supporting family and professional caregivers

Through a network of 150+ partners and community-led County Teams, we identify gaps and build solutions that didn’t exist before. 

We are also leading the way in creating dementia-friendly communities: equipping local businesses, organizations, and residents to better support individuals living with memory loss, so they can remain active, safe, and respected.

The impact is real in our region:

• More older adults can age safely at home
• More caregivers are supported, informed, and less alone
• Fewer individuals are falling through the cracks

Aging Together creates connection and coordination! Your support fuels solutions that work. It takes a village!
