Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the celebration of Older American’s Month. This year’s theme focuses on how older adults can age in their communities, living independently for as long as possible and participating in ways they choose. While Age My Way will look different for each person, here are common things everyone can consider:
· Planning: Think about what you will need and want in the future, from home and community-based services to community activities that interest you.
· Engagement: Remain involved and contribute to your community through work, volunteer, and/or civic participation opportunities.
· Access: Make home improvements and modifications, use assistive technologies, and customize supports to help you better age in place.
· Connection: Maintain social activities and relationships to combat social isolation and stay connected to your community.
