Lake County Commissioners Proclaim May “Older Americans Month”

PAINESVILLE, Ohio, May 2, 2024– At today’s Commissioners’ Meeting, the Board proclaimed May 2024, “Older Americans Month” in Lake County. Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the celebration of Older American Month (OAM).

This year’s theme, Powered by Connection, offers the opportunity to explore the vital role that connectedness plays in supporting independence and aging in place by combatting isolation, loneliness, and other issues.

“Ensuring that older adults can age in place and afford to stay in their home benefits everyone,” said Commission President John T. Plecnik. “Lake County is fortunate to have real support for senior services through the Lake County Senior Services Levy and 30% water and sewer discount for seniors in need.” Please click here to read the entire press release.
