Projected Rates of Growth (2010-2050) by Age Group – U.S.
AGING – THE NEW NORMAL
• Increased awareness of the impact of an aging population
• Housing • Community Development • Transportation • Collaboration and Partnership
CHANGES WE ARE SEEING
• What does it mean when 1 in 4 will be over 60 by 2030?
• What will be the impact on our communities our government, on individuals?
• How will it affect workforce, tax base, service delivery, transportation and housing?
• What do we need to do to prepare?
MORE AWARENESS, MORE QUESTIONS
BOOMER BOND
HOUSING ISSUES
• Older adults prefer to remain in their homes and communities
• Consumer demand for age-friendly design often comes when there is an immediate need • Lack of range of housing options in many communities• Lack of affordable housing alternatives
– One-third spend too much on housing
MOBILITY AND ACCESS ISSUES
• Current system is auto-dominated• Nationally 21% of 65+ do not drive• Limited public transportation options/cost of specialized transit• Men outlive their driving years by 7 years, Women by 10 • Neighborhood impact on older adults • Walking as physical activity

BEST PRACTICE: PAIR WITH CASOA
BOOMER BOND ASSESTMENT COMMUNITIES (11)
• New zoning and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance in communities
• Additional senior housing added to housing authority portfolios
• Redesign of community website – clearer path for older adults looking for services
• Activation and increased effectiveness of local Senior Commission
• More senior oriented projects in comprehensive plans
EARLY SUCCESSES
• Aging conversation more personal than most planning topics May alienate some and be a great motivator for others
• Comprehensive assessment can be overwhelming Few (if any) instances of single staff capacity Small steps, incremental change and the aging “lens” are
key successes• Every community/circumstance is different• Regional resources can advance local
initiatives – but not without challenges
LESSONS LEARNED SO FAR…
ADDRESSING ISOLATION
• Nationally 11 million or 28 % of people over 65 live alone
• Isolation increases the risk of mortality• Feelings of loneliness can negatively impact
physical health • Isolation and loneliness contribute to cognitive
decline and risk of dementia• Social isolation makes people more vulnerable
to elder abuse• LGBT seniors are more likely to be socially
isolated
FACTS
• Identify where and who are isolated• Make transportation available • Promote a sense of purpose• Encourage dinning with others • Develop neighborhood groups• Make adaptive equipment available • Encourage travel training • Encourage hearing and vision exams• Reach out and support a caregiver
WAYS TO HELP AVOID ISOLATION
• Change is constant • What works for one group of
older adults does not work for all
• Don’t forget the old, old • Planning for older adults can
help us all• We are all future old people … if we are lucky
THINGS TO REMEMBER
NEW THINKING
• Staffing crunch• Health status• Boomers becoming renters• Isolation
IS AGING IN PLACE THE ANSWER FOR EVERYONE?
• Community• Purpose• Re-powerment• A new view of aging

OUR VALUES
• Trust• Integrity• Inspiration• Transformation• Dignity/Honor/Love
OUR VALUES
Lives that work. Those, regardless of age, who are drawn to experiencing meaningful connections with like-valued, and perhaps differently minded, others. Those who are investing forward in themselves, in their communities, and in their own visions of what’s possible. Those who believe we can each do our part to help bring out the best in each other as human beings. Those who desire an exhilarating, sustaining and highly enriching future for us all. Those who want to experience a community of people…not just houses.
WHO WE’RE FORWHO WE’RE FOR
OUR UNWAVERING LANGUAGEOUR UNWAVERING LANGUAGE
WE MAY BE FOR ALMOST “NO ONE”
There's a huge difference between "no one" and almost no one.Perhaps almost no one will become a resident in one of our communities…Or become a true fan…Or tell someone else about our work and offerings…Or push us to make our work ever better…The chances that everyone is going to applaud us, never mind even become aware we exist, are virtually nil. Forget trying to be all things in order to please everyone and end up reaching no one.Better to focus on and delight almost no one.
Adapted from Seth Godin
