We have an extraordinary opportunity – to refuse the old ageist tropes, to write a new story about what we want life to be like as we all age, and to build the future together.
An age-friendly community is where older people are valued, respected and actively engaged in their community. They can stay in touch with people they care about and find the services and support they need. Age-friendly communities are more liveable for everyone.
Everybody has their own ideas about how and where they’d like to live for the rest of their lives. The decision about what’s right for each person is very individual and can be very complex.
