Age Well Boulder County presents a vision of the future that has been created by the community. This plan contains action steps that will encourage and enable all to Age Well in Boulder County. This plan is intended to be a starting point for a collaborative, interactive, community-driven process. Together, we need to ensure that there are affordable and appropriate homes in safe and vibrant neighborhoods; that employment, volunteer, social, educational, and recreational opportunities exist; that health and wellness are personal and community priorities; that there is an accessible network of transportation options to get people where they need to go; and that there is recognition, support, and training of caregivers of older adults.

Age Well Boulder County is an ongoing, organic process. Guided by this plan, Boulder County hopes to design an adaptable, sustainable process that recognizes the growing and vital role that older adults play in making Boulder County a wonderful place to live. In order for Age Well Boulder County to succeed, each of us must make a personal commitment to age well. In addition, every community must recognize the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and strive to make aging well a community priority. The release of this plan is an invitation and call to action for policy makers, planners, funders, service providers, faith communities, community organizations, and community members to view aging in a new and positive way, and to work together so that we may all age well.

Age Well Boulder County has its roots in the original strategic plan called Creating Vibrant Communities in Which We All Age Well, which was first published in 2006.
