Living and Aging Well Commission
The Living Well and Aging Well Commission helps make Lone Tree a place where residents can thrive at every stage of life. Established in 2012, the Commission brings community members together to address the needs and interests of older adults focusing on health, wellness, social connection, and lifelong learning.
Guided by the belief that Lone Tree should be a senior-friendly community where residents can age with choice, independence, and dignity, the Commission works to create opportunities for people to stay active and engaged. Members identify and advocate for issues that matter to seniors, connect with local social and health agencies, encourage community interaction, and support educational programs that enrich quality of life.
