Evolving Action Plan - Cross-Cutting
As part of the Age Friendly York project we want older residents to help shape where they live by working with local groups, businesses and ourselves to identify and make changes to their physical and social environments.
In addition to work which has focused on:
- getting out and about
- your time
- your information
- your home
- your service
We have other areas we may wish to focus on that may cut across or be separate from these focus areas. This includes, for example, age friendly considerations for older people with dementia.
This Evolving Action Plan shows our progress in addressing this.
