Empowered Aging

Serving over 480,000 older adults throughout the East Bay, Empowered Aging is a nonprofit organization dedicated to representing the interests that impact our isolated senior community.

We believe aging is a natural phase of life, deserving of respect and dignity. Every day we empower, educate, and partner with older adults and adults with disabilities to best meet their unique needs – from providing opportunities to stay connected to the activities they love to ensure they are free from neglect and abuse. Because when our elders thrive, we all benefit from their unique contributions and collective wisdom.

Your funding helps provide the following services: 

• Telephone reassurance and friendly visiting helps to prevent isolation, premature institution, and mitigate elder abuse. 
• The Residents Empowerment Program allows us to partner with legal services to get Advanced Health Care Directives and Durable Power of Attorneys completed for those in long-term care.
• The Elder and Adults with Disabilities Justice Program in Solano County facilitates access to care and services needed by elder abuse victims and their families.
• The Elder Justice League Solano brings community members and organizations together to spread awareness of elder abuse and provide peer-to-peer counseling.
• The Elder Justice Lunch and Learn program offers elder care professionals increased support and advancement of their services in the new era of COVID-19.
• Long-Term Care Ombudsman provides officially appointed expressed wish advocates for residents living in licensed long-term care facilities serving to protect both civil and human rights. 
• The Healthcare Career Pathway an innovative training program designed to provide a supported pathway into the allied healthcare field for students with addressable barriers and support the needs of residents in long-term care  

And that's just the beginning. Thank you for helping us empower the older adults in your community and beyond. For more information on our services and work in the community, please visit www.EmpoweredAging.org.
