Jane Fonda once said, “Aging is not what we used to think it was, it’s a potential to keep living and learning and exploring.” Her words ring true as we reflect on the inspiring stories of older adults redefining what it means to age with purpose.
One such story highlights the bond between an older artist and a young mentee—a connection that transcends generations. Their friendship is a powerful reminder that purpose and relationships enrich life at any age. For older adults, staying engaged in meaningful activities, sharing wisdom, and forming connections are vital to emotional and mental wellbeing.
At Reliant, we see these truths every day. Our team works to support clients in leading fulfilling, independent lives, embracing hobbies, passions, and relationships that bring joy and purpose.

- Intergenerational Connection Is Powerful: Relationships between generations build understanding, reduce isolation, and enrich both younger and older lives.
