​Helping Older People Stay Independent!

Aging Resources of Douglas County connects older people to vital services, information, and resources that promote aging with independence and dignity. We believe that the voice of every senior should be heard and respected, and that the whole community should join together to support older adults in their golden years.

Our services and programs give older residents more options to live life on their terms.  Getting older just means you’re getting better!

Our volunteer programs are able to provide services to Douglas County residents over age 60 and are at no charge to those who qualify.  Contributions are welcomed.  We believe our relationship-based volunteer services are ideal as they provide more benefit for both the senior and the volunteer. The relationship that is formed between people can provide the warmth, human contact, and companionship that we all need to maintain a high quality of life.

​One of the most common challenges among aging people in Douglas County is knowing where to look for help.  That’s why we publish our Resource Guide for Older Adults complete with phone numbers, websites, and other contact information for the people and organizations that can help residents get the assistance they need quickly and affordably.  
​Our Information Call Center is open Mon-Friday from 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM to get prompt answers to common questions 303-814-4300.

Aging Resources' Information and Outreach programs are designed to provide educational services throughout the county; rural and urban centers alike.   Our staff provides presentations on aging issues, connections to resources and to help set up services.  ​​The inter-generational program fosters an environment that encourages communication and relationships between our older residents and school age children. We partner with several schools to provide aging education and pen-pal programs.
