🔷 Caregiver Support is Essential – Caregivers need support just as much as those they care for.

We are more than workshops—we're a statewide movement for healthy aging:
🔷 Healthier Aging Populations –Our programs help reduce preventable health issues and promote independence.
🔷 Lower Healthcare Costs – Participants gain tools to better manage their health, reducing ER visits and hospitalizations.
🔷 Stronger Community Connections – We help build supportive networks so older adults can live healthier, more connected lives.
Participant Voices
The program leaders were kind and considerate of the group's ability to do the exercises. They provided options to do the exercises; standing or sitting.
It’s truly been a pleasure to get to know the wonderful instructors, having lots of fun playing bingo, enjoying exercising and learning great health information.
Sharing and listening to others was very helpful. Many times the group helped support one another with their problem-solving skills.
