Sedgwick County and the city of Thornton are the newest Colorado members of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. They join 20 other Colorado counties or localities that are also members, including places like Carbondale. The city’s age-friendly efforts have included repairing sidewalks and placing benches around the city to provide rest stops for walkers.
In 2020, our nation will conduct the once-a-decade census. The goal: to count every person living in the U.S. once, only once and in the right place. This historic event will have a 10-year impact on communities across Colorado.
Caring for a parent, spouse, or other loved one can be a 24/7 job that is emotionally, physically and financially difficult. That’s why AARP works tirelessly to support family caregivers, striving to make your big responsibilities a little bit easier.
Whether you’re new to the city or have lived in Denver for years, AARP NeighborWalks volunteers agree that there is something new to learn on every walk. And that’s just one of the benefits.
