In 2012, the AdvantAge Initiative team worked with organizations in California, Texas, Tennessee, and New York to conduct the AdvantAge Initiative survey. Read the first report from the Plough Foundation.
The AdvantAge Initiative helps counties, cities, and towns prepare for the growing number of
older adults who are "aging in place" while creating livable
communities for people of all ages.
Does your community help older residents
maintain their health, live independently, and lead productive
and satisfying lives?
Does your community engage older adults
as resources, tapping their civic and social strengths?
Is your community able to meet the changing
needs of the frail, disabled, and homebound?
What do your older residents think about
your community?
Would they consider it elder-friendly?
Is planning for a growing older population
a priority in your community? Does your community have reliable
data to inform planning?
