Hebrew SeniorLife is proud to partner with the Commonwealth in its efforts to become an age- and dementia-friendly state. We applaud Governor Maura Healey and the Healey-Driscoll Administration for signing the Executive Order on Instituting Age-Friendly Practices and releasing “ReiMAgine Aging 2030: The Massachusetts Plan,” a five-year plan for making the state a better place in which to grow up and grow older. The ideas reflected in ReiMAgine Aging 2030 resulted from thoughtful community engaged and hearing from partners across the Commonwealth. We thank Hebrew SeniorLife's Executive Vice President for Senior Living Kim Brooks for participating in the plan development. Key elements of the plan include: 🏘️ Ensuring that local and statewide housing planning includes affordable, accessible, and supportive senior housing and housing options 🚍 Developing and maintaining housing, transportation, community spaces, universally designed infrastructure, and community amenities to increase livability and to create safe, accessible environments 📜 Developing policies that focus on older adults who have faced inequities across their lifetimes Learn more https://bit.ly/3EYg8jf Learn more about our efforts to increase affordable housing opportunities for older adults and integrate health care with housing at the link in the comments.
