Vermont’s median age is nearly 5 years older than the rest of the nation’s. In Addison County, our seniors often feel disconnected from the community they once actively participated in because of health and/or transportation challenges. Many elders face depression, loss of purpose, and loneliness.
OUR SOLUTION:
- Supporting top quality in-home nursing care to reduce hospital visits and encourage healthy independent living
- Ensuring seniors living in every part of the County receive a warm, healthy meal every day
- Providing transportation and access to adult day care programs that offer physical activities, meals, lifelong learning opportunities, and intergenerational connections
