We want to hear from you! Town seeks feedback through Age-Friendly Community survey

In July, the Town of Wake Forest joined AARP’s Network of “Age-Friendly” States and Communities. A city, town, or rural area that is “age-friendly,” is one that helps people live easily and comfortably in their homes and communities as they age. That means access to affordable housing, transportation options, health care, opportunities for social engagement, the ability to walk and bike and much more.

Now, the Town is seeking public input on ways to ensure Wake Forest remains welcoming and livable for people as they age. From now through December 31, community members of all ages are invited to complete our Age-Friendly Community Survey.

The online survey can be accessed via the homepage of the Town website (wakeforestnc.gov) under “Common Resources, on the Northern Wake Senior Center web page at www.wakeforestnc.gov/northern-wake-senior-center, and on Engage Wake Forest at https://engagewakeforest.org/age-friendly-community-survey. Hard copies of the survey are available at the Northern Wake Senior Center, 235 E. Holding Ave., and Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and asks about your needs for transportation, housing, healthcare, community, and more. Your responses will help Wake Forest prioritize programs that meet the greatest needs of older adults in our community.
