Big Sky Senior Services and the Adult Resource Alliance of Yellowstone County have officially joined forces to form one unified organization: Allies in Aging.
​
This strategic merger brings together nearly a century of combined experience in serving older adults. Initiated by both boards as a proactive response to the growing needs of our community, this partnership ensures that as Yellowstone County’s senior population expands, we are ready—with more resources, greater expertise, and a deeper commitment than ever before.​
​
“Big Sky Senior Services has long been committed to helping seniors remain independent in their own homes,” said Tyler Amundson, Executive Director of Big Sky Senior Services. “By joining forces with the Adult Resource Alliance, we are ensuring that mission continues and expands. Together, we can take bold steps to meet the needs of our growing senior population in new and innovative ways.”
​
“This merger brings together our combined 98-year legacy of service,” said Erika Purington, CEO of the new combined organization, “As the Adult Resource Alliance celebrates 50 years, this partnership enhances and expands the support available to seniors and caregivers across Yellowstone County. We’re building a stronger, more comprehensive foundation for the future.”
​
All current programs and services will continue without interruption. Community members should continue connecting to services through the same channels they always have. Both leadership teams remain in place and are working closely to ensure a smooth transition.
We are excited to unveil a full brand identity in the coming months—including a new website that reflects our unified mission. In the meantime, we invite you to visit Big Sky Senior Services or Adult Resource Alliance for updates and resources.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Together, we are Allies in Aging.
We want to thank all of you and let you know how much we appreciate your kindness, caring, the help and all the happiness you gave mom all these years. It has been so reassuring and has lessened our worries to know she was getting your help.
