August 21 is National Senior Citizens Day! Older Adults have helped build our communities, and they continue to shape them every day. 💙

This year, we’re also taking a closer look at ageism. Ageism is the idea that getting older means becoming less capable or less independent. It can show up in small ways, such as a joke, an assumption, or making decisions for someone instead of asking what they want.

At PCA, we believe aging should be met with respect, dignity, and choice. When you see ageism, speak up. And take a moment today to thank an Older Adult in your life for the wisdom, experience, and contributions they bring to your community.
