Livable Communities

During these tough times, leaving your home may be stressful. Even picking up take-out may be a chore. As a result, many of us are cooking at home, so why not make something new.

When it comes to aging, there is no place like home. A 2016 survey by AARP found 76% of people age 50+ strongly agree with the statement, “I would like to remain in my current home as long as possible.” The AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities can help people do so by assisting counties, cities, towns and rural areas best meet the needs of residents of all ages. During this national health crisis, age-friendly communities offer added benefits.

April 19-25 is recognized as National Volunteer Appreciation Week. We are thrilled to introduce you to just a few of the AARP Georgia volunteers who help make our work possible. Thank you!

Southern Oregon’s Disaster Registry is the only one of its kind in the state. One factor that makes the registry effective is the close communication and mutual appreciation between Rogue Valley Council of Government Senior and Disability Services and County Emergency Management.

April 19-25 is recognized as National Volunteer Week. Over the next few days, we will share stories about our amazing volunteers with you. Enjoy!

Crossing the street shouldn’t mean crossing your fingers.

Now more than ever, we need the out of doors, the satisfaction of a good walk, ways to connect.
