Senior Living Guide
2024
Welcome to Community Impact’s Senior Living Guide. Our annual Senior Living Guide focuses on resources for seniors living in and around Prosper and Celina. All of the stories were written by our team of local journalists, and all of the advertisements are from nearby businesses who support our mission to provide free, useful news. Every month, we mail copies to all of the homes and apartments in Prosper and Celina. We’re unwavering in our commitment to provide free, useful news to the community, because we believe everyone—homeowners and renters alike—deserve to receive high-quality information about where they live. The stories in this edition dig into the demographics of seniors in our market, local agencies that support the population and other useful stories.
