Aging in Place

Alleviating food insecurity in older adults is about more than just food access.

It’s essential to ensure seniors have access to safe, affordable housing, reliable transportation, adequate healthcare, and other services which meet their physical, social, and emotional needs. All of which are aspects of aging well.

The following is a collection of resources which can help older adults to continue living in their community with the support they need to maintain their independence and age in place in the Texas Panhandle.
