Who Benefits From A Caring Neighborhood?

  • YOU! Participating in a Caring Neighborhood today establishes a support network for your aging needs tomorrow.
  • SENIORS benefit by continuing to live safely and independently in their own homes.
  • OUR NEIGHBORHOODS! Developing close-knit, cooperative relationships establish a friendly atmosphere where neighbors are mostly likely to look out for each other and help out during hard times. Informal, daily contact among neighbors ties our communities together, whether it is saying "good morning" while picking up the paper, or reporting suspicious activity. Caring Neighborhoods helps all of us to live more safely and happily in our communities.

The Caring Neighborhood Program is a collaborative effort between the City Of Sacramento Departments of Parks and Recreation Office of Older Adult Services and the County of Sacramento Adult and Aging Commission. The Caring Neighborhoods Program aims to raise the awareness about the special needs and issues affecting our neighborhood elderly. A small act of kindness by a thoughtful neighbor can make a world of difference in the life of a senior.
