To our readers
Welcome to the 2017 the active age
55+ Resource Guide
provided
through a partnership between
the active age
and Central Plains Area
Agency on Aging (CPAAA).
Our agencies have been partners for more than 27 years, working
together to educate and provide resources to seniors, caregivers and
professionals in Butler, Harvey and Sedgwick counties.
The active age provides thought provoking information every month
through the newspaper. CPAAA provides information, assistance and
support to help people adapt to changes as they age and learn about
resources and services when facing challenges.
Together we make a great team that you can rely on throughout the
year.
Life can create a variety of stumbling blocks for seniors, caregivers and
persons with disabilities. Some solutions may be simple; others com-
plex,.That’s where we come in.
The active age
and CPAAA are trusted resources available to help you
find the support and resources you need. CPAAA helps seniors, persons
with physical disabilities and caregivers to navigate individualized steps
and address questions about options.
To offer you easy access to answers, CPAAA provides the statewide Ag-
ing and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) call center and knowledge-
able staff familiar with community resources. Through the call center
professionals offer information, assistance and referrals to all Kansans
regardless of age or situation.
In addition, CPAAA offers additional services including individual
assessment, transportation, care-management, volunteer opportunities
and diabetes education.
CPAAA is proud to partner with and help fund local agencies such as
the active age,
to support the community and promote independence for
all. We hope you find this year’s Resource Guide, useful and easy to use.
Get Options – Access Services – and Maintain Your Independence!
