Promote Healthy Aging

As part of our goal to improve the health and quality of life for seniors and adults with disabilities, Aging & Disability Services has embarked on a number of Healthy Aging initiatives with our community partners. These efforts include improving access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity.

The U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) highlighted the health promotion efforts of ADS in the following report:

Eat Well

Community Meals:

Congregate meal programs help meet the dietary needs of adults 60 years and older by providing nutritionally sound meals in a group setting. Nutrition education and social and fitness activities are also provided.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables:

The Senior Farmer's Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) enhances access to fresh fruits and vegetables for seniors and supports local sustainable agriculture.

Baskets of fresh produce are delivered to homebound seniors and include newsletters with information about unfamiliar foods, recipes, & information about the farmers. Each summer, one-time Market vouchers are provided to 2,000 low-income seniors.
