|
SilverSource – a leader in advocating for the needs of older adults and their families– announced that it is accepting nominations for the first annual SilverSource Awards. The awards celebrate the exceptional advancements and meaningful contributions made in improving the lives of adults over age 60 throughout Fairfield County by volunteers, individuals, businesses and organizations. People are living longer, healthier, and happier lives than ever before, and communities, businesses and individuals are responding in new ways, allowing us to thrive as we age. Today’s older adults are enjoying amenities and services that address their essential needs as well as their wide-ranging interests, keeping them engaged and connected to community. As the nation and Connecticut’s population of people over age sixty is on the rise, municipalities and innovators are meeting the challenge of providing the right mix of environment and infrastructure to support vibrant aging and livable communities. _____________
