Action Plan Download

Saratoga developed its action plan in collaboration with the Saratoga Age-Friendly Committee, focusing on better communicating resource offerings to older adults, providing broad access to volunteer opportunities, improving accessibility, and applying a dementia-friendly lens to community planning. The action plan also commits to making transit more accessible to older adults, in an effort to make community and social events easier for older residents to attend.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Communication and Information

    Increase financial literacy through a series of financial planning seminars.

  2. Respect and Inclusion

    Support business' awareness of older adult customers, many with dementia, and train business owners on how to promote businesses that show exemplary care and service to older adults.

  3. Health and Community Services

    Communicate complex information on health insurance for older adults through Medicare and Medi-cal workshops and paper guides.
