Age-Friendly Olmsted County

Age-Friendly Olmsted County Family Service Rochester is leading the age-friendly planning process in Olmsted County.

Age-Friendly Olmsted County is a local initiative to build communities that minimize barriers to mobility, promote social engagement, and maximize the health and well-being of all residents. Early in 2020, the Olmsted County Board of Commissioners sponsored Olmsted County's membership in The AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, the United States affiliate of the World Health Organi

zation Global Network for Age-Friendly Cities and Communities. An age-friendly community is one that is safe and secure, has affordable and appropriate housing and transportation options, and offers supportive community features and services. Once in place, these resources enhance personal independence; allow residents to remain in their homes and communities as they age; and foster residents' engagement in the community's civic, economic, and social life. Participating communities become great places for people of all ages by adopting features such as safe, walkable streets; better housing and transportation options; access to key services; and opportunities for residents to participate in civic and community activities. If you or your organization would like to participate, please contact us at [email protected].
