Age friendly communities whenever possible, the organization strives to help our community become one where residents can thrive at every age and stage of life. To this end, the organization is involved in a research project with the Rockingham planning commission made possible by a two-year grant from the tufts health plan foundation. The goal of the project is to assess the "age-friendliness" of local town infrastructure, with the aim of providing local governments and planning commissions with actionable recommendations for meeting local needs in the future. It is a two-year project involving stakeholder surveys, public forums, and assessments which was completed at the end of the organization's current fiscal year.
