Dear Reader,
Welcome to your 55+ Resource Guide. We hope you find it helpful now and throughout the year.
The information in this publication can help you navigate the many changes that may affect you, your parents, friends and neighbors as we grow older.
Whether it’s information on housing, health care, community services, volunteer opportunities or leisure activities, you’ll find it in these pages. In fact, we believe it’s the most comprehensive guide of its kind available. Many thanks to our sponsors and advertisers for making it possible.
This booklet’s contents were checked by volunteers and staff of The Active Age for accuracy. Have we missed something? If so, please let me know using the contact information below and we will add it to our online version and next year’s printed publication. After all, this is your 55+ Resource Guide.
Joe Stumpe
Dear Advertisers,
Thank you for supporting our annual 55+ Resource Guide. Your participation makes this publication possible — and ensures seniors, caregivers, and families in Sedgwick, Harvey, and Butler counties have access to a trusted, year-round resource.
The Guide brings together vital information on community services, health and wellness, housing, financial and legal support, home repair, activities, and entertainment — all in one place.
This year, we’re pleased to welcome new advertisers and sponsors, whose support, along with that of our longtime partners, helps keep the Guide strong, reliable, and diverse.
Widely available at libraries, senior centers, and community hubs — and accessible year-round at www.theactiveage.com — the Guide continues to be the go-to reference for thousands of readers seeking dependable local resources.
Together, we are making a positive difference in the lives of older adults and their families.
Warm regards,
