This gap becomes even more conspicuous in light of statistics which show that people 65 and older are already the fastest growing population in the…

There are typically no legal requirements for these programs, nor is there a standard for where they are housed, how they are set up, who is involved in the activities, or the services they provide. Little standardization among programs contributes to a lack of understanding of their purpose and awareness…
