There's a wide range of local businesses, non-profits and volunteers who support older adults, and one group brings them together.  It's called G.R.A.P.E., the Greater Rochester Area Partnership for the Elderly, and its agenda has never been more important.  It's estimated some 15 percent of the local population is age 65 and older, and that number is expected to grow.  Two key players from G.R.A.P.E. talk to Maureen McGuire about the organization's mission.

For more information about G.R.A.P.E., click here.
