About Us

Mission

Aging Together through partnerships connects people to communities

and resources​ to improve quality of life as we age.

Aging Together supports

Aging in Place!

Our vision is for age-friendly communities that actively engage, support, and value older adults. We are a partnership-driven agency that helps our region address the needs and preferences of the growing older population, assuring residents will have the services and support they need as they age. This partnership is built on an alliance of more than 150 regional organizations and individuals who actively participate in County Teams that work in their communities.

For many older adults, the ability to age in place is a top priority. However, significant challenges stand in the way, including:

 Limited access to transportation

 Access to affordable housing

Food insecurity

Barriers to obtaining prescription medications

 Gaps in dementia care services and information

Shortages in caregiving support

 Social Isolation


To learn more about how Aging Together addresses these challenges, please take a look at our Strategic Plan in the red box below. 

Aging Together works within the five counties of Planning District 9 in Virginia.
