What if this summer was the moment you chose to live longer AND live better?

Small daily choices like walking, eating fresh foods, and staying connected can shape how we age and how well we live.

At DAAA, we know longevity isn’t just about years—it’s about quality of life, independence, and joy.

💬 Taylor’s Take: We are all aging, and our daily choices can shape how well we live in those later years.

Take a walk
Eat fresh, seasonal foods
Stay active and connected
Prioritize your health

You don’t have to do it alone. DAAA is here with resources, classes, and support every step of the way.

Visit DetroitSeniorSolution.org to get started; and sign up for Taylor’s Take, our CEO Ronald Taylor’s monthly perspective on aging in our community and beyond.

As temperatures rise, staying cool isn’t just about comfort, it’s about safety. Older adults and individuals with disabilities are especially vulnerable during extreme heat.

Let’s take care of ourselves and each other.

-Cooling centers are open across Detroit, including recreation centers and Detroit Public Library locations
-Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and spend time in air-conditioned spaces
-Check on neighbors, older adults, and loved ones

For more information on cooling centers throughout Metro Detroit, visit: https://ow.ly/Chc450Zb4RL

The IMPART Dementia Training Program is now enrolling high school and college students (ages 16–26) for a hands-on learning experience focused on dementia care and direct care careers.

This is more than training, it’s an opportunity to build skills, earn experience, and make a real difference in the lives of older adults.

The program begins in July.
