Each May, the Administration for Community Living leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month, a time to acknowledge the significant contributions of older adults and raise awareness about aging issues. This year’s theme, “Flip the Script on Aging,” encourages communities to challenge age-related stereotypes and embrace new perspectives on growing older.
“Our older residents are the heart and soul of Montgomery County,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. “They’ve helped build the community we live in today and continue to inspire us with their knowledge, experience and generosity. This celebration is one way we can say thank you and ensure we’re supporting people as they age with dignity, respect and joy.”
