Welcome to Age-Friendly Allegany County

DID YOU KNOW?
The average life expectancy continues to increase year after year as does the total population of older adults in our communities. By 2035 there will be more adults over the age of 65 than children under 18 in the U.S. for the first time in history.

​As a result of this growing older adult population, the Age-Friendly Communities Initiative was developed in 2006 by the World Health Organization as a way to assess a community’s capability to support people of all ages and abilities, with an emphasis on the oldest members in the community.


On July 27, 2020, the Allegany County Legislative Board passed Resolution 159-20 allowing Allegany County to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities and so began Age-Friendly Allegany County! ​

Mission and Vision
Our Mission is...
to support Allegany County residents through every stage and every age of life by providing enabling physical and social environments, opportunities to create meaningful experiences, and equitable, affordable, programs and services. ​
Our vision is...
to build upon the strengths of the communities in Allegany County while developing new opportunities that will further support all residents as they grow older. By 2025, we will:
  • Create new social opportunities, including intergenerational activities
  • Assess and improve physical environments to be more accessible for all
  • Foster collaborations between organizations to strengthen our impact and extend the reach of services to Allegany County residents
  • Build on and enhance the infrastructure in our communities that positively impact the quality of life for all residents, especially older adults and those living with a disability.
