Communication & Information includes keeping individuals connected to community through diverse sources. Age-Friendly communities make sure information is readily accessible and in formats that are appropriate for people of all ages. Both formal (TV, newspaper, radio, internet, social media) and informal (family, friends, clubs, faith-based) communication and distribution close to home remain essential to older adults. The ability to keep connected supports decision-making for full participation in all aspects of community life.
The Age-Friendly Sarasota County Action Plan includes the goals, objectives, and strategies for the "Communication and Information" domain during the plan's implementation phase (2022–2025).
