I'll do this very quickly.
I come from government, and when I was in government I was involved in creating something called the age-friendly communities program. There's a checklist that exists for that. Some of the issues you've just talked about are on that checklist.
I'll give you an example. On social participation, you need to make sure that venues for events and activities are conveniently located, accessible and well lit and, also, easily reached by public transportation. That might be a problem in a rural area, but there are ways around that if you look at community support.
If you think about something like transportation, there's a whole list here, including making sure first off that the costs are accessible, particularly when you think about older women and the poverty levels that we're talking about. I can leave you with that list if that's helpful.
