Action Plan Download

An action plan is based on the results of community surveys identifying needs within the 8 Domains of Livability that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. While there is flexibility in how a plan is created and what it will do, every action plan includes a statement about what can be achieved, target dates for goal completion, identification of participating organizations and indicators to measure progress. The action plan is an "active" rather than static document. Revisions and amendments are a sign of program improvement and progress.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Social Participation

    Develop additional programming for older adults that encourages people to get involved socially with other community members.

  2. Communication and Information

    Distribute regular newsletters to keep residents informed of events, resources, and health and wellness opportunities.

  3. Civic Participation and Employment

    Build a volunteer database to help older adult community members in need of assistance with household and daily needs.
