VCAAA Wins National Awards for Senior Nutrition Garden, COVID-19 Response

Jul 20, 2021 |

Ventura, Calif. – The Ventura County Area Agency on Aging is the recipient of three National Mature Media Awards and an Innovations Award from the National Association of Area Agencies of Aging (n4a). Projects that received acknowledgement include the Senior Nutrition Garden, LIVEWell and the Robotic Pet Companion and Walk with Ease video productions, both of which are being recognized among the nation’s best marketing, communications, and educational materials produced for older adults.

The VCAAA’s Senior Nutrition Garden, which won an Innovations Award, was honored for expansion efforts designed to increase harvests and provide even more fresh, organic produce to older adults living in Ventura County.

The 2021 n4a Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards recognizes Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Title VI Native American Aging Programs that develop and implement cutting-edge approaches to support older adults, people with disabilities and their family caregivers. Among the selection criteria was the ease with which other agencies could replicate the program in their communities.

LIVEWell, which won a Bronze Award from the National Mature Media Awards, is the premier resource guide for older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers in Ventura County. LIVEWell is published annually with content available in English and Spanish. Click here to view the 2020 issue of LIVEWell.
