May is Older Americans Month. This year's theme is Age Out Loud. The theme aims to give aging a new voice—one that reflects what today’s older adults have to say.

Unfortunately, stereotypes about older adults and what it means to age persist. Ageism continues to be a problem that seniors face in a lot of areas of their lives. From direct discrimination in the workforce and healthcare to ageist portrayals of seniors in the media, ageism can impact the lives of seniors in real ways. 

Here are a few things that we are reading this month that shine a light on ageism.

May is Older Americans Month! Not only is the month an opportunity for seniors to show us how they "Age Out Loud" , it is an opportunity to foster intergenerational bonds and spend time with older adult friends and family members!

"I'm 101 years old," Jamesetta said. "I guess by now I'm supposed to be gone, but I'm still bumpin' along."

Fiercely independent seniors like Jamesetta are the reason H.O.M.E. exists. Our housing and housing support services help seniors Age Out Loud, the theme of Older Americans Month 2017.

Older adults are a growing and increasingly vital part of our country. The contributions they make to our communities are varied, deeply rooted, and include influential roles in the nation’s economy, politics, and the arts.

From 69-year-old NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, Jr. to 84-year-old actress Rita Moreno to 83-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who took her seat as a Supreme Court Justice at age 60, older adults are blazing trails in all aspects of American life.  And at H.O.M.E., older adults give us our purpose, our inspiration and our joy.
