Age Well

Age Well’s goals are to improve the quality of life and health outcomes in our clients' lives.

Age Well aspires to use our Vermont experience to be a nationally recognized and collaborative leader in the aging network; promoting healthy aging, independence, dignity, and personalized choice for older adults.

The aging community in Vermont relies on Age Well for support by coordinating available resources and services that keep older adults independent, healthy, and supported at home, at work, or in the community. Age Well has dedicated teams to support Veterans, Caregivers, and New Americans by providing access to healthy meals, transportation, volunteer support, housing resources, interpreting services, and combatting other social determinants health so that our clients and communities thrive.

Since 1974, Age Well has been part of Vermont’s Area Agencies on Aging, coordinating services and care for Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties. We are the leading experts and advocates for the aging population of Northwestern Vermont. We believe that health happens at home and focus on lifestyle, happiness, and wellness—not on age. We provide older Vermonters with the necessary support to manage their daily living needs and to keep older individuals active, healthy, and independent. Our wide array of programs enhances the quality of life and improves health outcomes.
Age Well reduces barriers by providing access to healthy meals, in-home care, and community resources such as options for affordable housing, Choices for Care, and Medicare enrollment. Delivered by staff members and over 1,100 volunteers, Age Well’s evidenced-based services are designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients, their families, and caregivers.
