Action Plan Download
Jackman developed its action plan as part of a multi-year effort to increase its livability for older residents who wish to age in place. The plan's overall goals and objectives are framed around helping older adults stay in their homes and creating a life-long community where residents "grow up and grow old together." The plan also focuses on developing community gardens, providing mobility to older adults who no longer drive, creating more opportunities for social participation, and promoting community support services to help maintain a healthy community.
