Issues like agism at work, elder abuse in the family, and lack of access to healthcare continue to afflict older Americans to a significant extent. Older Americans Month empower us all to help change that.
The Older Americans Act is a vital Act that aims to encourage a high standard of living for over 60s, and is relevant everywhere from the home to the workplace.
Older Americans Month has a vital role to play in raising awareness of and reducing the impact of the issues our seniors face in their lives, from social isolation to elder abuse.
The theme for Older Americans Month 2022 is "Age My Way." with a focus on helping our seniors have better choices around things like healthcare as they live through their later years.
