Long-Term Care Services

May is Older Americans Month!   It is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of older Americans, highlight trends in aging, and reaffirm our commitment to serving older adults in our communities. This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” emphasizes the importance of prevention and wellness as essential elements of healthy aging. It encourages older adults to take an active role in their health by advocating for themselves, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support their independence. We are excited to share Governor Mills' Proclamation with you and encourage you to share with others.
