Protecting Healthcare, Expanding Housing Access and Strengthening Community Support for Baltimore County Seniors

Every person deserves to age with dignity, stability and the support of their community. But too often, seniors face barriers to healthcare, housing, transportation and connection—leaving many feeling isolated or struggling to stay in the homes and neighborhoods they love.

Baltimore County must be a place where people of all ages can thrive.

This means real action, not lip service. It means standing up for our seniors by protecting the programs they depend on, expanding the resources they need and making sure our communities work for everyone.

Building an Age-Friendly Baltimore County:

• Healthcare Access: Protect and expand access to healthcare by standing firm against cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, and ensuring affordable, high-quality care, from home health services to mental health support. See more about how Nick will help reform health care in Baltimore County here. 
• More Housing Options: Invest in safe, affordable housing for aging in place—including more senior living options, diverse housing choices and support for the BCAUSE home modification program to help residents stay safely in their homes. See Nick’s Plan to address our Housing crisis here. 
• Accessible Transit: Expand mobility and transportation options—growing CountyRide service with evening and weekend hours, improving walkable infrastructure and supporting transit projects like the Red Line and QuickLink 40 to keep seniors connected and independent. See more about Nick’s plans for public transit here. 
• Strengthen community and connection: We can fight social isolation by expanding senior center programs, promoting digital literacy, ensuring information is accessible and partnering with local colleges and universities to create peer-led activities, modeled after Salisbury University’s Institute of Retired Persons (IRP), which enriches seniors’ lives through learning, recreation, and social engagement.

Aging with dignity shouldn’t be the exception.

With Nick’s leadership, we can build a Baltimore County where our seniors are supported, respected and connected—because a county that works for our oldest residents is a county that works for all of us.
