Building an Age-Friendly Region 
P anel Discussion
One in three Americans is now 50 years or older. By the year 2030, one out of every five people in the U.S. will be 65+. * 

Will Cape Cod be ready? 

How will each of the Cape's 15 towns and our entire region support our aging population?

How can YOU be part of the 
solution?

Join us on September 15th for a panel discussion on how to successfully build r egional age-friendly programming.

We're bringing together experts from across the Commonwealth to talk about how they mobilized key stakeholders in their communities to work collaboratively to build regional age-friendly programming. 

Hear how they started the process, got buy-in from the right people, overcame obstacles, and ultimately launched successful age-friendly initiatives in their regions.

Join us an be part of building an age-friendly region on Cape Cod!

What is an Age-Friendly Community?
The Age-Friendly community movement has emerged in recent years in an effort to describe ways in which communities and cities may create environments that support their aging populations and promote quality of life, independence, wellness, and active participation throughout the life course.
Eight domains are used to identify features of communities that promote active, involved aging and quality of life. They address aspects of community infrastructure, the social environment, and features of the built environment.
  • Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
  • Housing
  • Transportation
  • Communication and Information
  • Community Support and Health Services
  • Social Participation
  • Respect and Social Inclusion
  • Civic Engagement and Employment
