The Colorado Gerontological Society is a nonprofit organization established in 1980 that provides advocacy, information, and assistance to Colorado seniors, along with education and networking opportunities for professionals working in aging. Based in Denver, the society offers counseling and referrals to help older adults and their families navigate housing options, nursing home placements, health insurance questions, and access to food supplies, among other supports, coordinating services through staff, partner agencies, or volunteers. It also assists with filing government forms for benefits such as tax rebates, Medicaid, food stamps, Social Security, and Medicare, and administers grant programs for dental services in the Denver metropolitan area for low-income seniors over 60. As a professional membership organization, CGS includes aging professionals from various sectors and focuses on information dissemination, advocacy, and coordination through trainings, networking, and collaborative efforts. A recent development noted is a partnership with Charles Schwab and PF Chang’s to support Thanksgiving meals for seniors, reflecting its community engagement and collaborative approach.
