AGE FRIENDLY PLANNING
The Elder’s Advisory chose to apply the World Health Organization’s well- established Age-Friendly process and planning framework to improve the lives of older adults in the Valley. The California Master Plan on Aging asks all communities to plan for the rapidly growing over-60 population. The upcoming strategic plan that evolves from this assessment report will affirm the priority of the health and well-being of older adults and people with disabilities.
" I am extremely happy to be living in the Valley and wish to live out my life here where there are some of my best friends. It is where I feel most supported.”

A FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT THE PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF OLDER ADULTS
“Age-Friendly communities are where people of all ages and abilities are engaged, valued, and afforded equitable opportunities to thrive as we age, how and where they choose.” 1 The Elders Advisory ask members of all ages in the community to participate and share your ideas in the upcoming planning process as they work with the County, the local providers and with the residents to create the solutions and programs that will better meet your needs. These plans will serve the family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and caregivers – surrounding older adults and people with disabilities.
