Age is no longer just a number. As we move past the age of 50, we're planning to stay actively engaged in our lives, families, and interests as long as possible. And with the tremendous ranges of interests and life experiences we all have, we want to maintain our connections, independence, and vitality as long as possible. At Avenidas, we seek to create a community that supports and celebrates older adults. We provide a wide range of support options, information, and services that enable people to stay active, maintain their independence, help their aging parents, or care for a spouse. Our innovative programs and compassionate staff—paid and volunteer—help enrich the lives of more than 6,500 mature adults and their families each year.
