It's almost time for Bountiful Bags, and you can help!

It's almost time for Bountiful Bags, and you can help! Silver Key serves thousands of seniors in the Pikes Peak region with a variety of services to help older adults maintain independence, safety, and a healthy quality of life. Every year, Silver Key conducts an annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, fondly referred to as “Bountiful Bags”. This drive helps provide a full Thanksgiving meal to seniors and their families that, without our help, would likely not have a holiday meal at all. Silver Key relies on the generosity of our neighbors and businesses to keep our pantry stocked throughout the year. The need is always great and is especially high around the holidays as we try to make this time of year feel special for seniors who are not only facing food insecurity or diminishing resource, but also battling social isolation. Hosting your own Bountiful Bags Thanksgiving Food Drive is a fantastic way to support your community and is also a fun and meaningful way to engage your family, friends, co-workers, and employees in helping seniors remain healthy, happy, and independent.

2nd Annual No Place Like Home Conference

Buy Tickets Here According to a survey conducted by AARP, 3 in 4 Americans want to age in place. This term continues to grow in popularity, though few have a clear understanding of what aging in place means and how to do it effectively. No Place Like Home: A Virtual Conference on Aging in Place aims to educate families on what aging in place can mean to them (it's not the same for everyone!) and how to plan to make aging in place a reality. What seems simple—growing old in your own home—needs a comprehensive plan to ensure all needs are met. The speakers, panels, and other activities of the conference will show you how to plan for the health care, personal care, finances, and legal needs of someone aging in place.  This conference is for everyone: retirees, not-quite retirees, adult children, caregivers, and the many professionals involved in planning and caring for aging adults. Insurance providers, financial planners, attorneys, social workers, assisted living staff, home care providers, and more will benefit from understanding the ins and outs of aging in place.
