Yanna for
Our Seniors
Seniors in District 21 deserve dignity, connection, and care. Yanna is committed to:
• Intergenerational Homeshare: Pairing seniors with spare rooms with young people who need affordable housing, creating companionship and community. This arrangement not only helps seniors stay in their homes longer but also builds relationships across generations. It’s a practical, innovative solution to housing and social isolation.
• Mobile Senior Services: Bringing health screenings, social programs, and resources directly to neighborhoods without older adult centers. Seniors shouldn’t have to travel far to access the care and support they need. Mobile services ensure every older adult can benefit from essential programs, no matter where they live.
• Closing the Digital Divide: Offering digital literacy programs so seniors can access online services, connect with loved ones, and navigate telehealth resources with ease. Technology is an essential tool in today’s world, and empowering seniors to use it helps them stay connected and independent.
