The Town of Danforth developed its Age Friendly Action Plan in collaboration with the Livable Communities Committee. The Town distributed a survey designed on the AARP model of the 8 domains of livability. From the survey results, several challenges were identified which became the inspiration for the age-friendly steering committee. Danforth looks to ensure walking paths and sidewalks are accessible throughout downtown, as well as developing a plan for a Community Center. Danforth will also develop a volunteer ride service for residents to improve mobility. Create a set of programs/policies to enable older adults to be safe and comfortable within their own homes and community. Expand social opportunities for all member with a focus on engaging older citizens, while expanding volunteer opportunities and access to services that ensure the health and well-being of the Danforth elder population.
