Connecting Older Adults and their Families to Activities, Resources and Services
Welcome To
AGE FRIENDLY LAKELAND

In 2017, Lakeland received the designation of Age Friendly. This designation is administered through AARP in the United States and is a program of the World Health Organization.
Age Friendly Lakeland’s vision is to create a community where older adults and their families are equipped with the necessary resources to comfortably and safely age in place.
Why? Age Friendly Lakeland wants to maximize opportunities for seniors to be active, healthy and engaged with their neighbors by connecting them with resources, each other and their community.

Wading through the maze of senior care options and resources can be an overwhelming task to say the least. Understanding what you need now or will need in the future is the key to planning and/or making the best care choices for yourself or someone you love. Knowledge is power! Once you know what best suits your needs our directory will connect you to local organizations and resources that can help.
