A new Aging Coalition has launched in North Platte, bringing together local organizations, professionals, and community members dedicated to supporting the area’s aging population.
Spearheaded by Jen Caudillo, Community Liaison and Resource Coordinator for Caretech, and Dalene Skates, Business Development Advisor for Home Instead, the coalition aims to foster collaboration, share resources, and improve access to care for seniors across the region.
The coalition’s mission is to support the aging population through community connection, shared knowledge, and collaborative partnerships.
Through this initiative, members exchange ideas, build relationships, and help ensure seniors and their families can access the services they need.
“North Platte has long been surrounded by strong coalitions in neighboring communities, but we identified a critical gap locally,” said Caudillo. “This
group helps bridge that gap—because if one of us can’t help, we know someone who can. We are truly better together.”
The coalition offers opportunities for educational programming, guest speakers, networking, and community involvement while increasing
awareness of local resources for seniors.
The inaugural meeting was held on Tuesday, March 24, with strong community participation. The coalition will now meet monthly on the last Tuesday at noon, with local organizations encouraged to host meetings and showcase how they support seniors in the community.
