LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Around the nation, older adults make their marks every day as volunteers, employees, employers, parents, grandparents, mentors and advocates.
They offer their time, talents, and experience to the benefit of our communities.
For 57 years, Older Americans Month has been a special time to recognize these contributions.
Led by the Administration for Community Living each May, Older Americans Month highlights ways to help older Americans stay healthy and independent.
This year’s Older Americans Month theme, “Make Your Mark,” highlights older adults’ unique and lasting contributions to their communities.
Towards this goal, Community Care Management’s aging services programs help 286 older adults in Lake and Mendocino counties each month to thrive at their highest level of independence.
What’s more, nine of the agency’s 14 Multipurpose Senior Services and Senior Information & Assistance Program staff members coordinating these services are over the age of 60 themselves.
Older Americans Month Program Director Corinne Jones’ path to serving our community’s older adults is featured in the current edition of her alma mater USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology’s Vitality Magazine.
Community Care continues to make its mark on the lives of older adults, both as employer and service provider.
To learn more about available services, contact Senior Information & Assistance Monday through Friday at 707-468-5132, or visit www.SeniorResourceDirectory.org .
