Announcement Kicks Off Older Americans Month Celebration
DELAWARE COUNTY, OHIO—SourcePoint is proud to announce that AARP has officially approved the community’s second Age-Friendly Action Plan, reaffirming the county’s commitment to creating a place where residents of all ages can thrive.
This announcement comes at the beginning of May in recognition of Older Americans Month.
Spearheaded by SourcePoint and the Delaware Public Health District, the newly approved action plan builds on years of collaboration among local leaders, organizations, and residents to enhance livability across Delaware County. The plan outlines strategies to improve transportation, housing, social participation, health services, and more—ensuring that older adults can remain active, connected, and supported.
“This milestone reflects the strong partnerships and shared vision across our community,” said Fara Waugh, SourcePoint CEO. “When we design a community that works for older adults, we create a better place for everyone.”
The Age-Friendly initiative recognizes that communities that are accessible, inclusive, and supportive of aging populations benefit residents of all ages. From safer streets to expanded opportunities for engagement, these efforts strengthen the overall quality of life in Delaware County.
A digital version of the Age-Friendly Action Plan is available at MySourcePoint.org/age-friendly.
Residents are encouraged to explore the plan and learn how they can get involved in building a more Age-Friendly community.
