ΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ School of Social Work student pens series about age-friendly efforts in Augusta

ΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ School of Social Work student Sara Grant

The Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel published a series of articles written by Sara Grant, a student in the ΒιΆΉΒγΑΔ School of Social Work, about the Age-Friendly Committee in the City of Augusta.

Grant, who is pursuing her master’s degree in social work with a focus on gerontology, is an active member of the committee and a devoted advocate for older adults. The articles, which focus on housing, health care and staying connected, offer valuable information and advice for older adults in the Augusta region and beyond.

β€œAugusta offers a wealth of services to its residents,” Grant writes. β€œAs part of the Age-Friendly Initiative, our committee wants to inform Augusta residents of the various programs available and improve the livability for residents of all ages.”
