Two of the Places to Age Board Members will be supporting the HRRMC Foundation Jewel Ball this year. As a result, the Bronze Sponsor will feature Places to Age.


We thought this was another good way to let the community know about Places to Age's organization and efforts, especially in the context of a continuum of care.


Please note that NO Places to Age donations nor grant monies are being used for this sponsorship.

Thank you from the Places to Age Board of Directors:

Marilyn Bouldin, Cheryl Brown-Kovacic, Judy Hoch, Lydia Segal, Jeff Eaton, Wendell Pryor, Dee Dubin, Andi Bruno
Please donate to our efforts to bring Assisted Living & Memory Care to Chaffee
 
 

Places to Age is a grassroots non-profit that is focused on bringing Assisted Living and Memory Care to Chaffee County.


Currently, there is no continuum of care facilities for our large and growing elderly population. We want to change this so people don't have to move out of the county to receive Assisted Living or Memory Care services.
