Older American’s Month

October 6, 2016

Older Americans Month is a national celebration of the contributions and achievements of seniors. Family Eldercare is excited to annually be a part of a slate of activities during the month of May to raise awareness of, connections to and critical resources for the rapidly growing senior population in Central Texas.

May is a month of fresh beginnings. Perennials bloom once again, blazing a trail of bright color. May is also when we celebrate Older American’s Month (OAM), acknowledging the perennial contributions of older adults to our nation. The 2016 OAM theme is Blaze a Trail. The Administration for Community Living will use this opportunity to raise awareness about important issues facing older adults. We will also highlight the ways that older Americans are advocating for themselves, their peers, and their communities.

Be a trailblazer! Join us in promoting activities, inclusion, and wellness for older Americans in your community.
