Rural Outreach
Aging Education Events
Intergenerational Learning
Did you know that one third of people over the age of 60 don’t use the internet?
As we age, getting the important information we need can become more difficult. That’s why Aging Resources of Douglas County provides educational services aimed at helping seniors access the information they need through events, seminars, and classes organized and facilitated by volunteers who genuinely want to help.
Did you also know that 82% of Douglas County is rural land?
This can make life a lot more challenging, as access to public services can be limited to those living in remote areas. Everyone should be able to enjoy their lives in their homes, even if those homes are located miles away from city centers. To help enable this, Aging Resources of Douglas County offers rural outreach services so that aged residents can enjoy more independence in their daily lives. Another aspect of our education and outreach efforts has to do with joining older people with younger people. This kind of ‘inter-generational’ fosters an environment that encourages communication and relationships that are beneficial for everyone involved.
