AgeWell Vision: All older persons will age well in nurturing communities that promote social and emotional well-being and physical health.

About AgeWell
AgeWell is a peer-based wellness program committed to promoting the health and well-being of older persons and keeping them out of hospitals and institutions. The AgeWell model introduces a new way of working that taps into an existing resource for renewed purposes. Older persons are not the problem, they are the solution.
AgeWell’s unique model includes:
1
engaging older people as companions, called AgeWells,
2
reducing isolation and building communities around older people,
3
employing mobile health technologies to support client wellness, and
4
recommending referrals to existing medical and social service providers.
