The Active Aging program serves seniors in both Sarpy and Cass Counties. The goal of the Active Aging program is to help seniors remain safe and in their homes for as long as possible. We work with community partners, reaching most program participants through senior centers, churches and independent senior living communities.

The Active Aging Program provides seniors with free or low cost basic health screenings, services and education throughout locations in the community and as a home visitation service. The program focuses on chronic disease prevention, nutrition and physical activity. Information is provided through educational presentations, one-on-one health consultations, healthy cooking demonstrations, community talks, and by participating in health fairs.

Basic Foot Care and Blood Pressure Clinics are offered for seniors in Sarpy and Cass counties. These events are available at low cost to participants and can be held anywhere. The following services are provided by a Licensed Nurse:
