Caring Neighborhoods is the City of Sacramento's effort for encouraging neighbors to engage the older folks around them--to chat, check in, and maybe even lend a hand from time to time. These connections reinforce the social fabric and support independent community living.
Sacramento is a city of neighborhoods. Many residents of these neighborhoods are growing older and are facing the challenges of living independently and no longer feel connected to the communities they live in. In Sacramento, approximately 47,551 people are over 65. Thirty percent of those are over 80 years old.
The aim of Caring Neighborhoods program is to strengthen neighborhood connections and promote community support to a growing elderly population. We recognize the need for a creative response to a situation where the population over 65 is growing yet we live in a culture that tends to make older people invisible. At the neighborhood level, people have become more disconnected than ever due to the general stress of living and managing our busy lives. We may not even notice the older neighbor struggling to carry their groceries from the car to the house.
