Thanks to everyone who joined us on May 7, 2023 to learn about AARP’s Livable Communities program with speaker Jane King!
King discussed AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly Communities and the eight domains of livability that make a community friendly to people of all ages and abilities. You can find a summary of some of the breakout group topics and suggestions we discussed here.
Members of our Human Services Advisory Council will be looking into what it would take for Falls Church to become a certified Age-Friendly Community. We’ll report back on their progress.
If you missed her presentation, you can view the slides here.
