VERMONT'S ELDERS LIVE WITH DIGNITY AND IN SETTINGS THEY PREFER

Why Is This Important?

Respecting and caring for the elderly is a sign of a compassionate society. Ensuring that older adults have choices in how they live as they age allows them to maintain independence, dignity, and a sense of belonging within their communities.
