Age-Friendly Communities
The population is aging and it is more important than ever for communities to establish polices and services that support the health and well-being of older citizens.
An Age-Friendly community helps seniors to age actively, live safely, enjoy good health and stay involved.
An Age-Friendly community is a community that:
- recognizes that seniors have a wide range of skills and abilities
- understands and meets the age-related needs of seniors
- respects the decisions and lifestyle choices of seniors
- protects those seniors who are vulnerable
- recognizes that seniors have a lot to offer their community and
- recognizes how important it is to include seniors in all aspects of community life.
Age-Friendly communities develop policies and maintain infrastructure to be safe and affordable. Age-Friendly communities provide:
- accessible outdoor spaces and public buildings
- safe and affordable housing options for seniors
- accessible roads and walkways
- affordable and accessible public transportation
- health and support services for seniors and
- opportunities for seniors to be socially active, volunteer and participate in the community.
Read the City of Greater Sudbury’s Age-Friendly Community (AFC) Action Plan, prepared by Huntington University’s Department of Gerontology in collaboration with the Seniors Advisory Panel to Mayor and Council and its subcommittee the Age-Friendly Community Task Force.
