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. Communication and Information

    Improve digital and print resources for older adults by publishing a locally based resource guide, constructing an aging data center, and creating an information platform.

  2. Transportation

    Develop training opportunities for transportation service providers on appropriately interacting with and safely transporting older adults.

  3. Health and Community Services

    Collaborate with local and state mental health providers and organizations to create opportunities for on-site service delivery at local older adult and community centers.
