Carbon County, aiming to be age-friendly, aligns with national network

Carbon County is mostly rural. Coupled with its older population, and considering the current pandemic, social isolation worries Therese Picasso-Edwards.

“[Seniors] just didn’t feel that they are in the county-wide loop,” Picasso-Edwards, the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation program director, said.

Carbon County has been working to increase mobility for senior citizens and decrease social isolation after it joined a nationwide age-friendly initiative.
