“It’s not every day that communities get an opportunity to come to a table to discuss what it means to age in their city or town.” @caitlin0513 on @CSDRA_UMB's fast-growing work with communities and senior centers.

"The cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security, the primary income source for many lower-income seniors, was 5.9% for 2022, the biggest annual bump in years. But that was more than offset by increases in what people often pay for bread-and-butter needs."

Thanks, @GlobeRobW

“The fact that we’re so concerned about school and school kids and child care, and older people have dropped to the side, it’s just more evidence of our pervasive ageism in our society,” Elizabeth Dugan, @UMassBoston gerontology.

Fantastic session on social connectedness and the health of older subsidized housing residents at #GSA2021. We have much to learn from housing and neighborhood context. Thank you @tkmcudjoe @DrRobynStone

@mahealthyaging #Equity in #aging to me means having comprehensive, culturally appropriate access to housing, health care, economic security, social connections, transportation, and all other foundational elements that support a meaningful, healthful life at all ages.

Happy #GoodNeighborDay! Volunteering in your community is a great way to be a #GoodNeighbor. Contact a senior center, food pantry, or faith communities to find out how you can help local residents. Volunteering even for an hour a week is a meaningful way to connect.
