Living & Aging Well Commission

The Living Well and Aging Well Commission sponsors a number of programs each month for seniors in the community. The group has been meeting since January 2012 to explore issues related to the area’s aging population.

Vision

The Living and Aging Well Commission envisions our city as a senior-friendly community where residents have the opportunity to age with choice, independence, and dignity.

Mission

We are committed to creating opportunities for residents to remain independent and active by:

  • Identifying and advocating for issues and concerns
  • Linking with existing social, health, financial and support agencies
  • Providing avenues for social interaction
  • Supporting educational opportunities
