Age My Way - May 2022
Join us this May for Older Americans Month. Let’s celebrate
healthy aging and the diversity of our community.
Older American Month: Age My Way Monthly Events | 2022
Older Americans Month 2022
Older adults play vital, positive roles in our communities - as family members,
friends, mentors, volunteers, civic leaders, members of the workforce, and
more. Just as every person is unique, so too is how they age and how they
choose to do it - and there is no “right” way. That’s why the theme for Older
Americans Month (OAM) 2022 is Age My Way.
Every May, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads the
celebration of OAM. This year’s theme focuses on how older adults can
age in their communities, living independently for as long as possible and
participating in ways they choose.
While Age My Way will look different for each person, here are common things
everyone can consider:
• Planning: Think about what you will need and want in the future, from home
and community-based services to community activities that interest you.
• Engagement: Remain involved and contribute to your community through
work, volunteer, and/or civic participation opportunities.
• Access: Make home improvements and modifications, use assistive
technologies, and customize supports to help you better age in place.
• Connection: Maintain social activities and relationships to combat social
isolation and stay connected to your community.
This year, Washoe County, City of Reno, and City of Sparks are excited to
celebrate OAM with our partners in the aging community.
Diverse communities are strong communities. Ensuring that older adults
remain involved and included in our communities for as long as possible
benefits everyone. Please join Washoe County, City of Reno, and City of Sparks
in strengthening our community!
For more information, visit the official OAM website, follow ACL on Twitter and
Facebook, and join the conversation using #OlderAmericansMonth.

organizations in the country who focus on rescue, recovery, training, and
placement of at-risk dogs. CRCCS doesn’t care about age, breed, medical
conditions, history or even labels. We provide a refuge and opportunities
for dogs who were deemed unadaptable, out of options and just needed
to be given tools and time to overcome their past traumas, such as
neglect, abuse, and long-term confinement.
When the dog is ready, CRCCS finds their forever family. The CRCCS
journey is a beautiful thing, and we hope to share it with you! The tour is
free, and donations are always appreciated!
