The City of Oakland’s Human Services Department, Aging and Adult Services Division and the Mayor’s Commission on Aging (MCOA) are co-creating the Aging Well in Oakland: A 5-Year Strategic Action Plan, along with a number of community-based partners and City department representatives. In 2018, the MCOA and City developed a strategic plan in fulfillment of the requirements to secure the World Health Organization (WHO) Age Friendly Community designation. Oakland became a WHO Age-Friendly Community in 2018 and joined an international coalition of municipalities and organizations dedicated to fostering healthy and active aging environments locally.
The Aging Well in Oakland: A 5-Year Strategic Action Plan builds on the Age Friendly Oakland initiative and identifies priorities, goals, objectives, and actions to address the needs identified by residents to feel safe, secure, connected, and empowered as they age in Oakland. To do so, the MCOA and City want to hear from older adults, persons with disabilities, and family members in the community about their needs by completing a survey by April 30.
The survey may be completed in the following ways:
