Littleton’s seniors have access to an array of government and nonprofit resources aimed at improving their day-to-day lives. Such resources include limited legal representation from area attorneys, community events intended to boost social connection and protective oversight of shared living facilities.

Resource Contact Service
Denver Regional Council of Governments 303-455-1000 The DRCOG serves as the Area Agency on Aging for the greater Denver area, which includes Littleton’s Arapahoe County. This agency works to provide adults over 60 with health and nutrition support; as such, its offerings include congregate meal programs at local senior centers, case management services and connection to low-cost transportation.
Seniors Resource Center 303-238-8151 This Denver-based private nonprofit organization serves seniors in the area with educational seminars on aging, modern technology, tax preparation, improving quality of life via financial choices and more. It can also help seniors connect socially through on-site card games and fitness classes.
Aging Well Resource Center 303-795-3961 This arm of the DRCOG is conveniently accessible through Littleton’s Bemis Library. Its staff members can provide half-hour consultations to help walk-ins better understand their options concerning aging-related topics such as veterans’ benefits, medical options and caregiver selection and support.
Way to Go 303-458-7665 This transportation program is a ride-matching service focused on connecting commuters with carpooling groups; participating vehicles range from four-seat cars to 15-passenger vans. Denver-area seniors with limited physical mobility may find Way to Go’s curb-to-curb service more suited to their needs than public transportation. Most of its services are completely free through federal funding, though some carry a small fee.
