2023 Senior Resource Guide English

The City of Aurora realizes how essential it is to support and uplift our older adults, our seniors, and our champions by keeping them at the forefront of our community focus, bridging them to resources, and becoming an age-friendly city. Senior and Disability Services is committed to making sure our community understands the resources available to them. Collaborating with our partners is vital to ensuring our aging older adults have appropriate opportunities to continue to enhance their lives and legacies as contributing members of society.

Our city is devoted to partnering with the movement to reframe aging, by changing the way our society thinks about aging, invoking a cultural shift. Whether it is fostering social engagement, increasing resources, expanding opportunities, lending a helping hand, becoming more accessible and inclusive and much more, the City of Aurora and our partners will continue to advocate for our seniors and individuals living with disabilities. We stand with Mayor Irvin’s goal to support aging older adults and make them a priority in Aurora.
