Area residents can learn how caregivers are creatively conducting outreach with older residents, families, friends, faith communities, and neighbors
VANCOUVER – The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the challenges of connecting older adults to resources, information and each other. These connection challenges existed before the pandemic and will continue into the future. Learn how caregivers are creatively conducting outreach with older residents, families, friends, faith communities, and neighbors at the next meeting of the Commission on Aging, 4:30 p.m. Wed., Nov. 16.
Meeting guests include:
- Beth Sanders, LifeBio
- Claire Houlding, Three and Me
The Commission on Aging will also determine its key findings and recommendations from this year’s focus on Innovation through Connection and present its third annual Silver Citizen Award to Katlin Smith. The commission established the Silver Citizen Award program to recognize older adults who go above and beyond in service to the community.
