About this Webinar
A significant number of older adults desire to age in place, yet our communities were not built to support the needs of people of all ages and abilities. Age-Friendly Communities create environments that allow older adults to participate in their community and stay connected. But it’s not just valuable for older people, it can also enhance the economic, civic, and social vitality of the entire community.
If you are interested in participating in a movement that not only benefits the largest growing age group, but people of all ages within your community, then this is for you. In the presentation I will present the public epidemic of loneliness and social isolation in America, introduce the concept of Age-Friendly Communities, and discuss how to maximize its impact and foster sustainability. San Diego will be used as a case study to illustrate what it takes for a community to become more age friendly.
