Older Americans Month
Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM). The 2025 theme is Flip the Script on Aging , which is a time to recognize older Americans’ contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm our commitment to serving older adults.
This year’s theme focuses on:
- Transforming how society perceives, talks about, and approaches aging.
- Encouraging individuals and communities to challenge stereotypes and dispel misconceptions
- Honoring older adults’ contributions to our society
- Exploring the many opportunities for staying active and engaged as they age
- Highlighting the opportunities for purpose, exploration, and the connection that come with aging
