AARP's Age-Friendly States and Communities <br />framework provides guidelines and resources for <br />cities working towards a more inclusive, engaging, <br />and healthy community for residents of all ages. The <br />framework outlines eight domains of livability <br />(listed on the next page), which encompass major <br />aspects of community life. All of these domains <br />should be considered while assessing and improving <br />city programs, policies, and infrastructure. <br />Redwood City joined the Age-Friendly Network in <br />2020, committing to a five-year continuous <br />improvement cycle based on AARP's framework. <br />Redwood City began this work in 2019 by partnering <br />with the Center for Age-Friendly Excellence (CAFE). <br />With CAFE's help, the City conducted focus groups <br />with a wide range of diverse residents. Using this <br />data and an assessment of current programs and <br />policies, CAFE helped the City choose three <br />improvement projects that fit within the Age- <br />Friendly framework. <br />This Action Plan is an aggregation of the work we've <br />done so far. In 2023, we will begin evaluating our <br />work and develop the next action plan. <br />AGE-FRIENDLY REDWOOD CITY PAGE 3 <br />Age-Friendly Initiative <br />Process Overview <br />Phase 1 <br />Phase 2 <br />Phase 4 <br />Phase 3 <br />Phase 5 <br />APPLICATION <br />DATA COLLECTION <br />IMPLEMENTATION <br />ACTION PLAN <br />EVALUATION <br />8.B. - Page 25 of 48 <br />82
