Learn about a $1.5 million investment from the Board of Douglas County Commissioners to help you age well

Are you over the age of 60? If so, you are part of the fastest-growing population in Douglas County, and we know you want to remain in the community you know and love.
That’s why your Board of Douglas County Commissioners has invested $1.5 million into solutions that address service gaps identified during dozens of public meetings and your direct feedback to Commissioners as part of their Older Adult Initiative.
“In 2023 and 2024, we went on the road to listen to our older adults. We heard they need more resources for housing and transportation and help inside their homes,” said Commissioner George Teal. “We’re thrilled to invest in new resources for a community that has invested so much in Douglas County.”
These services were designed with input from local older adults, so they’re built around what matters most to you.
