The 2026 BEACON Guide is here!
We’re living longer than ever, and that’s something to be grateful for. But living into our 80s, 90s or beyond means we need to plan for more than money. We also need to prepare for the transitions that come with a longer life.
A while back, I read an article that put a name to this: a longevity portfolio. It’s the mix of assets you can draw on over time, including your health, finances, skills and work options, social connections and support systems that helps you navigate the years ahead.
To strengthen your longevity portfolio, you need to know what help is available and how to reach it. Sorting through the options can be confusing and expensive. That’s why we publish the BEACON Guide each year: to put trusted local resources in one place for local seniors and those who assist them.
Here’s what makes the BEACON Guide a trusted resource for aging well in Mesa County and Montrose/Delta
TRUSTED & RELIABLE
If you keep one resource handy this year, make it the one designed to save you time and stress. The BEACON Guide is an easy-to-use, up-to-date directory that organizes local resources by when you might need them, making it simple to find the right help at the right time. It includes verified contacts for clubs, government agencies, retirement planners, contractors, doctors, home health providers, senior communities, support groups and more.
Our team personally verifies every listing by calling each phone number so you can count on the most current information available.
As our community grows, the Guide grows too, with new resources added each year.
