Older Americans Month: Supporting Seniors at Worthington Place
Older adults continue to redefine what it means to thrive in later life. Their goals, interests, and lifestyles deserve recognition and responsive support.
Data from Bankers Life reports that around 73 million Baby Boomers will turn 65 in 2025. This represents more than a fifth of the U.S. population.
Older Americans Month is a time for celebrating older adults. It's also ideal for spotlighting their evolving needs.
At Worthington Place, we believe in aging with purpose. Our community for seniors provides assisted living support that is connected and meaningful.
