Older adults consistently cite transportation as a major barrier to independence, healthy food access, and community connection. We address this challenge through Seabury Connector—our coordinated, age-responsive transportation service helping older adults travel safely and reliably throughout the DC metro area.

Our service is especially helpful for senior living communities, churches, and nonprofit programs that want to ensure their older adults can access fresh food and social connection.

"Everything about Seabury is fantastic! We're so glad to be working with this wonderful organization." - Seabury Connector Partner

Prescription drug costs are rising—but there are ways to save. At the same time, fraud schemes are becoming more sophisticated—but we can protect ourselves!

On Tuesday, March 10, from 11–12 PM ET, we’re teaming up with AARP for a virtual session designed to help Medicare beneficiaries save money on their Part D prescription drug costs.

Participants will learn:
- How to spot opportunities to reduce Part D expenses
- Common prescription drug fraud schemes and the red flags to watch for
- Steps you can take to protect yourself and report suspected fraud

This workshop is made possible through the DC Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program, which empowers Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud.

Good food is about more than nutrition — it’s about gathering, sharing stories, and feeling at home.

At Seabury Dining Sites, 97% reported better access to well-balanced meals and more meals shared with other. These meals also support connection and overall health. As one participant shared, “Seabury has picked me up; I wouldn’t be coming out of bed. I’m speaking completely honestly, [the lunch program] has helped me with my depression. I have something to get up for now, my hygiene is up.”

Access to joy, connection, and enrichment shouldn’t depend on mobility. Seabury Connector helps older adults reach food, resources, and social spaces.

One partner community shared:
“Thanks to their commitment and care, our residents are able to participate in offsite activities that bring joy and enrichment to their daily lives. Their reliable and inclusive transportation has made a meaningful difference in our community.”

This Black History Month, we celebrate leaders who advanced our understanding of aging care, including Solomon Carter Fuller and Dr. Jacquelyne Johnson Jackson.

Solomon Carter Fuller (1872-1953) was a Liberian American neurologist, psychiatrist, pathologist and professor. He contributed important research into Alzheimer’s disease in the early 20th century, when the disease was poorly understood.

Dr. Jacquelyne Johnson Jackson (1932-2004) was a civil rights activist and pioneering researcher into aging among Black Americans. She drew attention to the lack of data and study of aging people of color and was among the first to recognize the intersection of racism, economics, and segregation in the Black aging experience.

These are enormously important advancements for our communities. We're grateful for our ancestors who helped to shape aging care as we know it and for the leaders who continue to carry that work forward.

Winter makes getting around even harder for many seniors. Icy sidewalks. Long bus waits. Limited transit options.

Seabury Connector provides door-to-door rides so older adults can shop for food, attend wellness programs, and stay connected.

One wellness center shared: “Having this opportunity makes a huge difference… especially now in the winter. Seniors get picked up, shop, and get home safely. It means a lot to us and to them.”

98% of older adults at our dining sites say they’ve learned something new about healthy eating — and that matters.

According to the National Institute on Aging, healthy eating is a cornerstone of healthy aging, helping older adults maintain energy, support chronic conditions, and make smart food choices as needs change.

Our programs make that easier:
- Nutritious meals across our dining sites
- Nutrition classes at our dining sites
- Seabury Connector grocery trips with a nutritionist offering tailored guidance

When people have the tools and information they need, they can take charge of their health with confidence.

A ride to a program. A shared meal. A familiar face at the table.

In our latest participant survey,
💬 97% reported increased social interactions
💙 95% reported feeling less lonely

These results far exceed our goal and show what we see every day: when older adults have support and community, they thrive.

For many of us, driving is tied to everyday freedom — a quick trip to the store, visiting friends, getting to appointments, or coming and going on our own schedule.

But as we age, changes in vision, mobility, or memory can make driving feel different than it used to. These shifts can be hard to notice, and even harder to talk about.

This webinar resource offers gentle, practical guidance on recognizing warning signs, understanding drivers’ rights, and having supportive conversations with loved ones about safety and independence.

If this is something your family is navigating, we hope it helps.

Watch here: https://www.seaburyresources.org/safety-behind-the-wheel-webinar

Recognize the common warning signs of unsafe driving for older adults, as well as the rights that drivers possess.
