The Colorado Gerontological Society is committed to serving Colorado's senior population and aging professionals. For more specific information and assistance, please contact us. We can often help with problem solving, counseling, resource referral and information distribution. We can send application forms and resource lists by mail, e-mail or fax and can help with filling out forms, applying for and appealing benefits and can provide limited grant assistance for hearing, dental and vision problems.

Holiday Baskets
Holiday baskets are delivered to older adults who have difficulty with transportation and are alone for the holidays. Truly a public-private partnership, community agencies participate in collecting food, packing boxes and delivering the baskets to needy older adults.

Senior Awareness and Recognition Evening
This event recognizes individuals in our community who have made significant contributions. Information by national leaders on subjects of current interest are presented.

The Colorado Gerontological Society is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization organized in 1980 to provide advocacy, information and assistance to Colorado seniors as well as education and networking for aging professionals.

Older adults and their families are encouraged to call or visit CGS for assistance regarding housing options; nursing home placements; questions regarding health insurance; food supplies, or location of a geriatric physician. A counselor will consult with the individual to understand the problem, work to identify and prioritize solutions, and help to arrange services. Services may be provided by our staff, other agencies or volunteers.
