Aging in Place: Building a Support Network | Vancouver News
Description
An occupational therapist spotted a critical gap: too many seniors returning home from injury without the support to stay independent. That insight sparked a bold new initiative — a local chapter of the National Aging in Place Council for Southwest Washington and Oregon, designed to connect families with trusted professionals who help older adults live safely at home. With over 120,000 residents aged 60+ in Clark County alone — and that number projected to soar — this resource is urgently needed. Before their official launch, they’re hosting virtual info sessions featuring 87 experts across fields like real estate and aging-in-place design, and are seeking a Clark County board representative to expand impact. The goal? Empower families to plan ahead, make informed choices, and honor their loved ones’ wishes — all while reducing stress during health crises.
