Yesterday we celebrated the ribbon-cutting of AGE+'s Oro Vista Village in Talent, Oregon — 26 affordable, accessible homes for older adults, along with a vibrant community space that fosters connection and well-being. Jackson Care Connect is proud to have supported this inspiring project that helps build stronger, more inclusive communities for aging with dignity.

As people live longer, AGE+ is leading the way with innovative, intergenerational strategies that address housing, mobility, and caregiving gaps.

Congratulations to AGE+ and all the partners who made Oro Vista Village a reality!
