Big news! šŸ ā¤ļø

We’re proud to announce the launch of our new Housing Stabilization Fund, made possible with support from UnitedHealthcare Community & State.

2026 marks the year the oldest Baby Boomers turn 80 — and as the demand for aging-in-place support surges, the need for practical, on-the-ground solutions has never been greater. Rising utility costs, bed bug infestations, and unsafe living conditions are pushing vulnerable older adults out of their homes and into emergency rooms and long-term care facilities. We're stepping in before that happens.

The Housing Stabilization Fund delivers targeted, one-time interventions for low-income DC residents ages 60 and older whose housing stability is at risk. Support includes:

šŸ”Œ Utility assistance — average intervention of $1,500 to keep the lights on and care providers in the door.
šŸ› Bed bug remediation — including preparation and post-treatment restoration for seniors who can't manage the process alone.
šŸ  Professional decluttering services — for seniors whose living conditions create fire safety concerns or prevent care from being delivered.

Referrals are accepted through senior service agencies and congregations. Learn more and apply at www.seaburyresources.org/housingstabilizationfund/

At a recent community event, a woman approached our Age‑In‑PlaceĀ® Coordinator with a simple message: thank you.

She shared how much Seabury’s Age‑In‑PlaceĀ® and Care Management teams supported her family during an incredibly stressful time. The volunteer help with yardwork and house cleaning allowed them to maintain a sense of normalcy while caring for her father. He has since passed, but the impact of that support stayed with her.

In fact, it inspired her next step: she’s now back in school pursuing a degree in social work, hoping to ā€œshare in the joy of being able to lend a helping hand to those who need it most.ā€

Volunteer house and yard work eases the load on older adults, supports caregivers, and strengthens the community as a whole. It’s practical, direct, and deeply felt.

We're currently raising funds and collecting supplies for our annual ā€œStuff the Shedā€ event! Help us to replenish our Age‑In‑PlaceĀ® supplies of tools, lawn and trash bags, and supplies ahead of our summer work season!

Did you know that staying socially connected in one of the strongest predictors of healthy aging?

At Seabury, we see the impact of connection every day — in our community dining sites in Wards 5 and 6, at the Model Cities Senior Wellness Center, and on our transportation shuttles.

Take Mrs. V, a Ward 5 member who attends our dining site. She shared how much she relies on Seabury’s transportation services for her grocery shopping. Carrying heavy bags on the Metro bus had become difficult and raised safety concerns for her. Riding with Seabury eases those challenges — and, as she put it, ā€œas seniors we don’t get around a lot,ā€ so she looks forward to getting on the bus and going somewhere. She especially enjoys our Music and Cruising rides around DC, taking in the changes across the city. She also emphasized how safe and courteous our drivers are, which makes every trip feel like a safe adventure.

Stories like hers reflect what our programs are designed to do: reduce food insecurity, strengthen social connection, and support older adults in aging with dignity. Whether through nutritious meals, wellness activities, access to social workers and nutritionists, or reliable transportation to healthy food options, Seabury helps older adults stay connected to their communities in meaningful, practical ways.

What does it mean to grow older as a spiritually rich, ongoing journey?

In this powerful new episode, Rev. Beth Long-Higgins sits down with Seabury's Director of Community Outreach and Education, Elizabeth Boyd, PhD, and Rev. Susan Walker—co-creators of Path Ahead: Spirituality and Purpose in Later Life. Together, they explore how aging can be a season rich with meaning, calling, and transformation.

✨ From addressing ageism in congregations
✨ To reframing retirement as a time of legacy and purpose
✨ To embracing practices like gratitude, resilience, contemplation, and lament

This conversation invites us to see aging as a season of calling and legacy.

March is National Nutrition Month — and at Seabury, we’re celebrating with impact.

In Wards 5 and 6, Seabury’s dining sites offer nutritious meals, recreational activities, and opportunities to meet with social workers and nutritionists — creating spaces where older adults can nourish both body and community.

✨ 97% of participants reported increased access to well‑balanced meals and more meals shared with others.
✨ 98% reported learning more about healthy eating through our nutrition classes.

For those with limited access to healthy food, our Seabury Connector grocery shuttles make a world of difference. We provide reliable transportation to quality grocery options, along with nutrition education sessions and personalized counseling that help older adults make choices that support their health and independence.

This month and every month, we’re committed to building a healthier, more connected DC for older adults.

Mrs. J has been a Age-in-PlaceĀ® client for quite some time. After losing both her husband and mother in the last two years she has stated how our presence is a godsend. From helping keep her house dust free to her getting outside and helping with the branch trimming, Mrs. J loves the companionship as much as the actual services being done. ā€œSeabury is an outstanding organization that genuinely cares for the well-being of those in need, and I am so grateful to have them by my side.ā€

Ms. S is in her 70s and joined Model Cities Senior Wellness Center in March 2023. She attends the Center daily and participates in the fitness classes, swimming, and the walking club — she lost 20 pounds in one year! Ms. S loves to dance in an exercise class when she is supposed to be following the exercise routine, entertaining the other participants. She is considered one of Walter’s Warriors in the fight against cancer. She has met a lot of new friends and it gives her something to do during the day.

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.
