South Orange/Maplewood Age Friendly Community Survey
South Orange and Maplewood will be conducting a survey to gain feedback that will inform the development of an Age-Friendly Action Plan. The survey is part of an assessment of needs for adults over 60 and its funded by the Grotta Fund for Senior Care.
Over the coming month, we will be going out
into the community to talk to a wide representation of older adults
(from diverse neighborhoods, ethnicities, income levels, ages, etc.)
with a goal of surveying between 400-750 adults age 60+. This
grassroots effort will help the initiative reach individuals whose
voices may not always be heard.
An Age-Friendly community is one where policies, services and structures related to the physical and social environments are designed to support and enable older people to live in a secure environment, enjoy good health and continue to participate fully in their communities. The 3-Year Community Action Plan will identify age-friendly features, barriers, and suggestions for improvement, and will serve as a template for collaborative planning to address the needs of our growing senior population.
The survey questions will take most people approximately 20 minutes to complete, depending on how much you have to say! Your answers are completely confidential.
The survey is available on line at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SOMA-AgeFriendlySurvey
Hard copies will be available at the Maplewood and South Orange municipal offices, libraries, senior centers and other facilities.
When completed, if not completed online, the surveys can be returned to South Orange Village Hall or Maplewood Town Hall.
The survey will close on May 2, 2016
