At Silver Blossoms we recognize that everyone's aging journey is different. Yet, ageist images and attitudes persist that mistakenly paint older adults with a broad brush. Adults 50 and better are redefining what aging looks like. Older can be stronger. Bolder. Wiser. Better.
Whether retired, widowed, or on your Second Act, we recognize that older adults are going places and continue to contribute to our nation's resiliency.
We are building a community of hope, trust and resilience. Where our members engage in meaningful ways to improve health, maintain an active lifestyle and reduce social isolation and loneliness.
Right now we are busy at work planning weekly activities, all-inclusive outings, wellness and community walks, community table potlucks. We are building community. It will take time. But the goal is to foster reciprocal support and connect our friends to resources that will help us age well in our communities and on our own terms.
I recently read that how we experience aging is shaped by the communities we create. We want to create community where people of all ages feel connected, seen, respected and have a sense of belonging. In the long-term we want to connect persons to planners, advocates, health and wellness professionals, builders, - all persons who can support aging in the places that you call home.
If any of this resonates with you, please take a moment to say hello and let us know what matters most to you on your healthy aging journey. We truly value your feedback. It will help us inform our work and programming going forward. We will publish your responses, anonymously in an upcoming blog.
