Rooted in Durham.
Helping our community thrive.
We promote collaborative efforts to build a safe, affordable, accessible, connected and inclusive community for aging adults in Durham. Our vision is that Durham is a community where all adults age well and thrive.
Since 2019, Durham has been a member of the Age-Friendly Network of States and Communities. Age-friendly communities are diverse but share common features. Age-friendly communities:
- Are inclusive so that everyone can be involved in decision-making, spaces, places and activities.
- Facilitate active, ongoing and collaborative engagement between neighbors.
- Have an action plan that focuses on improvement while amplifying community assets.
The Comprehensive Aging Plan is our blueprint for making Durham a more equitable, age-friendly and livable community. Aging Well Durham is our community’s backbone agency for the Durham Comprehensive Aging Plan.
