City of Half Moon Bay Starts Application Process to Gain “Age Friendly Community” Designation

PRESS RELEASE. From Senior Coastsiders’ Executive Director, Sandi Winter.

In September, the City of Half Moon Bay will be starting the process of applying for Age Friendly Community designation for our Coastside community.

In an age-friendly community, the policies, services, and structures related to the physical and social environment are designed to support successful aging and make communities more livable for people of all ages. An age-friendly community may generate economic benefits, social capital, infrastructure innovations, and healthy communities.
Other cities in the County that have already undergone this process include Daly City, Foster City, Redwood City, Colma, Pacifica, and San Mateo.

The World Health Organization (WHO) founded the Age-Friendly Network in 2005 and today there are over 1,000 cities worldwide.

 

AARP coordinates the Age-Friendly Network in the United States as an affiliate of the WHO’s initiative. The AARP have developed a framework of Eight Domains of Livability that include:
  • outdoor spaces and buildings
  • transportation
  • communication and information
  • civic participation and employment
  • respect and social inclusion
  • community support/health services
  • social participation
  • housing

This framework can be used by local leaders and residents to assess the needs of older adults. Once identified, these needs can be organized, prioritized, and incorporated into a clear action plan to make communities more livable for both older residents and people of all ages. This is an on-going process that in the first 5 years includes planning and piloting Age Friendly Community inaugural projects (years 1-2), creating an action plan focused on sustainability (year 2), implementation (years 3-5), and progress evaluation (end of year 5).

I look forward to hearing YOUR input regarding how our Coastside region can be a more Age Friendly community. Email, call or visit me in person to discuss your ideas.

Our Coastside community Age Friendly plan will be submitted to AARP in October – so don’t delay!
