May is Older Americans Month

Every May, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month. This year's theme to celebrate aging is "Aging Unbound."

The John A. Hartford Foundation has assembled a collection of resources to help you celebrate Older Americans Month.

The 2023 Aging Unbound theme offers an opportunity to explore diverse aging experiences and how implicit bias toward aging impacts our experiences and creates a barrier to the age-friendly policies we all need. ACL will be discussing how planning, participation, accessibility and making connections all play a role in aging in place – emphasizing that what each person needs and prefers is unique. Join in promoting flexible thinking about aging – and how we all benefit when older adults remain engaged, independent, and included.
