Generations United

Senior Centers & Social · Iowa · Free

Promotes intergenerational programs that bring older and younger people together. A starting point for caregivers needing to get the senior out of the house for adult day care or peer connection. Online classes (Senior Planet, GetSetUp, AARP) cover technology, fitness, and topics on demand — many are free. Social isolation has the health impact of smoking 15 cigarettes a day — these aren't optional add-ons, they're medicine. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
