Aging is a natural process marked by time. It affects us as individuals as we gain wisdom, life experiences and social connections. Age also affects our communities, bringing valuable expertise and social capital that can only be provided through elderhood. Individual and community aging impacts infrastructure, government, and systems of care demanding new paradigms and models that value the assets not only of our older residents, but the strengths of all members, as we age across the lifespan.
The Greater Richmond Age Wave is a collaboration of public and private organizations, businesses, and individuals including older adults working to prepare for the opportunities and challenges of our region’s growing aging population. Together, we are working hard to implement, monitor, and evaluate the Greater Richmond Regional Plan for Age Wave Readiness—a shared blueprint that prioritizes targeted actions to improve our well-being in the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent and Powhatan, and the City of Richmond.
We want to make Richmond a better place to age, and we can do this by partnering, sharing ideas, aligning networks and learning how other communities across the Commonwealth and U.S. are engaging residents and supporting older adults.
