Review for Aging Forward (formerly Shepherd's Centers of America), Kansas City, MO, USA
Shepherd's Centers of America is highly effective in changing the image of aging. Through a national network of centers the organization demonstrate the power of older adults to meet needs of other older adults in diverse communities. The national organization promotes positive aging, viewing older adults as people with experience, perspective and potential. The participatory model promotes innovation, sharing of best practices, volunteerism and community-based response to the needs of an aging population. Whether supporting Centers to meet basic needs, (such as home delivered meals) or to conduct life-enriching programs, Shepherd's Centers of America illustrates the impact that older adults can make in their communities.
