Rural Roundup - Bandera

Aging Friendly in the Hill Country

Everyone is aging everdyday. Aging impacts every part of our lives-- from access to nature, to transportation, to housing, healthcare, and social networks. So what does it mean to build age-friendly infrastructure here in the Hill Country?

Join us to hear how local leaders, nonprofits, community members, and families are coming together to support our elders, reframe aging, and build a Hill Country that is a great place for folks of all ages to thrive. Come get inspired as we learn what works, what doesn't, and what you can bring back to your own community.
