Pinecrest developed its action plan through a joint venture with the University of Miami. The plan makes adjustments to outdoor spaces and buildings within the village, suggests improvements to enhance transportation options, helps residents with resources to make affordable home repairs, and invests in activities and social opportunities for older adults. The plan also commits to providing accessible health screenings for older adults within the community.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Health and Community Services

    Create health and wellness opportunities for older adults like free and discounted fitness classes, mental health well-being lectures, and free blood pressure screenings.

  2. Communication and Information

    Create an emergency preparedness brochure with contact info and resources.

  3. Transportation

    Enhance the built environment through shared-use paths, better sidewalks, and traffic calming features.
