Department of Aging Overview

The Department of Aging is inviting everyone to participate in No Senior Eats Alone Day on Thursday, September 12, or any day of their choosing during the week of September 9 through 15. The goal is to help make older adults feel valued and connected, establish better eating habits and improve nutrition and health. We also encourage partners to join us in drawing attention to the impact of social isolation.

Social Isolation Initiative

Did you know that lacking social connections is a comparable risk factor for early death as smoking 15 cigarettes a day? The Department of Aging is tackling this issue with a series of events, trainings and promotions. Check out our video on the topic and stay tuned for information on other ways you can participate in reducing the rate of social isolation in our senior population.
