Yes, and we've talked about the expression “age-friendly communities”. What that means, quite simply, is that many communities are not designed to take into consideration the needs of an aging population, and that's what age-friendly communities are about. It's looking at what a community that would support seniors as they age would look like. It includes things like public transportation, access to health care, having a doctor--those kinds of issues.
What are those elements that can make a community better and safer for a senior? It includes things like road design. How wide is that sidewalk? What is the gradient on that sidewalk for rain runoff? Is it too much for somebody who has a walker or a cane? Is it too slippery? The grade is too steep when slippery. We have winters here, and that's a problem. A lot of seniors fall in winter.
