Today is the 3rd annual SAVvy Day, a national movement that is reshaping how we see and support solo aging. SAVvy Day is more than a date on the calendar.
It is a initiative to spotlight the creative resilience of solo agers and celebrate the intentional lives they are building. Navigating solo is a practical reality for manyāand it is also emotional, deeply personal, and deserving of visibility and respect.
Who is a solo ager?
A solo ager is an adult 55+ who is without the reliable support of adult children or close family members. This growing population is redefining independence, connection, and community in powerful ways.
At CJE SeniorLife, we believe no one has to navigate aging alone. One way we support solo agers is through:
Aging Together--A support group for older adults who find themselves aging alone. While solo aging presents real challenges, there is also hope. Feeling connected to others can improve physical, emotional, and mental health. This group offers a welcoming space to share experiences, build understanding, and forge new connections. Join us!
š 2nd & 4th Tuesday of each month
ā° 11:00 amāNoon

š Advanced screening and registration required. For more information, visit cje.net/aging-together-virtual-support-group/ call 773.508.1000 for more information
