Offaly Age Friendly Strategy 2024 – 2029
This is the 2nd Offaly Age Friendly Strategy 2024-2029 which has been prepared by the Offaly Age Friendly Alliance in consultation and co-operation with older people in Offaly.
The Age Friendly Alliance will seek to ensure that this strategy achieves measurable outcomes for old people that demonstrates improvements in their quality of life.
Outcomes for older persons in this context will mean that older persons:
- Are valued and have opportunities to enhance the communities they live in.
- Have opportunities for civic, social, and economic participation.
- Are supported to stay living in their own homes and connected to their communities.
- Can lead healthier, longer, and active lives.
- Live in places where the social and physical environments are safe when out.
- Can get to where they want to go when they want to.
- Feel and are safe in their own homes and their communities.
- Have the required information and communications to support them.
“Design for the young and you exclude the old; design for the old and you include everybody”.
