Aging Together as Community

Aging Together as Community is a community advocacy group established originally in 2020, as the Haliburton Highlands Long Term Care Coalition during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the help of a number of community builders, it evolved into a group intent on raising awareness of seniors' unique health care needs while keeping seniors living independently in their homes for as long as possible. Bonnie Roe leads the group and says it's all about aging in a way that provides the greatest comfort and dignity.Roe says there are a number of eventsAging Together as Communityis planning that will bring seniors together and feature many activities they've been asking for. While she'll only hint at what's coming, she says much of it is thanks to the organization recently obtaining its not-for-profit status which opens the door to more funding sources.
