An initiative of Connecticut Community Care

We're so grateful for last week's inspired Age Well Academy session on moving from ideas to action in your community. And we hope you'll read and use our newest resource guide, with over 100 practical action steps on how your community can foster deeper aging, dementia and disability inclusivity. What next step does your community feel inspired to take? Let us know!

Did you miss Age Well Academy last week? Thank you to our speakers, panelists, and attendees for an inspired and thought-provoking opportunity to look more deeply at how Connecticut communities can advance age and ability-based equity. Watch the event recording here.

We also released our fourth municipal resource guide. Practical Action for Aging, Dementia, and Disability Inclusivity provides an evolving list of best practices for advancing aging, dementia, and disability inclusivity, organized around our framework of ten impact areas. Read the report online or download a print-friendly pdf.

The Connecticut Age Well Collaborative was selected as Connecticut's state lead for Dementia Friendly America, a national network of communities and other stakeholders to support people living with dementia and their care partners. E-mail us to explore having your community join the network.

The Connecticut Age Well Collaborative is a statewide, cross-sector initiative that fosters Connecticut communities where we all thrive as we grow up and grow older. Delegated by the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity & Opportunity, we’re leading the state's livable communities initiative (Conn. Gen. Stat. Section 17b-420a).
