Our Mission

Our tag line says a lot about who we are. Polk County Better Living for Seniors is "A coalition dedicated to improving the lives of seniors." 

We face many challenges in the years ahead as America's senior population grows. Working together we can accomplish more. Our coalition exists to provide the networking opportunities and the cumulative resources that we need to meet the growing needs ahead.

• Guest speakers that will keep us informed and equipped
• Website resources and online database search capabilities to find needed services and connect with members
• Print directories (published biennially)
• Website forums and interactive email list-serves for posting questions to subscribed BLFS members.
• Avenues for sharing and collaborating on events
• Community service such as Better Seasons for Seniors and other benevolent projects
• Educational programs to benefit our communities such as our Empathy for Elders and Life Care seminars
• Forging strategic partnerships in the community
• Participation and co-sponsorship of conferences, seminars, health fairs, etc.
• Professional and career development
• Coordination of senior service referrals
• Legislative updates and information on current issues regarding seniors
