PCA کاتالیزوری برای ایجاد مشارکت های غیر سنتی حول هدف مشترک چهار اصل برای سالمندی فعال است: تغذیه سالم، سرمایه اجتماعی، تحرک، و مسکن انعطاف پذیر و در دسترس. این رویکرد نوآورانه به یک شهر دوستدار سن با ایجاد اتحادهای قوی به عنوان یک مرکز، الگویی الهام بخش برای سایر جوامع است.

قسمتي از متن فيلم: Adelphia fifty-five percent of the city’s elderly are either minority foreign-born both and forty-three percent are poor and we use two hundred percent of the cutoff because that’s the more meaningful cut off in terms of cost of housing food transportation and things like that and do we have a 60-40

Gender split which is proud average for older adults now given that there’s incredible diversity among the older adult population itself in terms of age income health ethnicity whatever is what have you and also significant diversity within the city’s neighborhoods in terms of quality of housing physical environment crime and all those kinds of

Issues you were thinking about the best ways to serve that very diverse population and to create more a physical must minimal physical social environment for older adults to live it I just to give you a little bit of a background on where we work Philadelphia Corporation

For aging is the Area Agency on Aging for Philadelphia every county is served by what’s called a triple-a and they’re usually has within county governments however pc is a non-profit and we have about 750 employees and we’re funded by the federal government through the older Americans Act and also by the State

Lottery and so with this money we contract out services to over 180 organizations in what’s called aging Network these are all organizations that serve older adults such as senior centers and we also have a case management division housing department that provides home modifications and we have a planning department we’re both

Down and I work more than a hundred thousand people a year benefit from PC funded services but because the needs of philadelphia seniors exceed the funding available we have sought ways to expand our reach and this is where the age friendly efforts come in so like us many communities are beginning to recognize

The importance of thinking about traditional aging services in the context of the wider community survey by UC berkeley identified almost 300 such efforts in the city when you excuse me in the country and many of these initiatives use guidelines established that organizations such as the epa a

RP the visiting nurses service of New York and also the World Health Organization and just to note the city of Philadelphia was just admitted to the who’s global network of H friendly cities about a month ago and bow down and I are in the subcommittee for the mayor’s Commission on Aging that’s the

Second requirement which is a citywide assessment but about our effort H family Philadelphia is based on the EPA framework and it was initiated about three years ago to build on our work to help older adults remain in their neighborhoods for as long as possible and the premise is that support of

Neighborhood environments can create more opportunities for independence and healthy living by positively influencing people’s lifestyles so there are four key features of our effort and the first is that is a joint policy planning research approach and I run the policy and planning portion of the agenda and

Allen runs do research piece and you’ll learn more about that through some of the examples that will be talking about soon the second is that we’re catalyzing projects with organizations outside of aging just to give you some background it’ll come from the field of aging I have a master’s in public administration

And they’ve run programs in city governments having to do with parks and economic development and public art and it’s interesting that most of the organizations that I worked with before putting myself we were not talking about seniors you’re talking about the creative class and kids and so I’m in

Coming to PC and with that in mind I’ve been trying to work with organizations outside of the aging field to help them to integrate seniors into their policies and plans and programs and we’ve we’ve really been trying not we don’t want to run programs we would rather serve the

Catalyst for new projects so that organizations can actually incorporate H friendly work into their agendas and we’ve been emphasizing with our partners the third point what’s good for seniors is good for people of all ages because a lot of the changes to the physical environments that will be beneficial to

Seniors are actually beneficial to kids and pregnant ladies and you know really everybody and the last um key feature of our effort is we’ve been in firing emerging leaders to be the champions of our age firmly projects and just to briefly touch on that point that strategy to involve people in their 20s

And 30s in each friendly as I mentioned most professions are really not talking about aging and we believe it’s really important to educate the next generation of leaders in Philadelphia to incorporate the needs of older adults into their jobs in whatever professions are in so jen philly is a award-winning

Network of over 300 emerging leaders from a variety of fields including urban planning to work with seniors in some way or another and through social media bimonthly meetings and public events gem philly shows emerging leaders that there’s a competitive professional advantage that results from incorporating knowledge about old or

Older adults into their skill sets and so we’ve been asked our members to think about the type of city in which they themselves want to grow old and to think about how they can get there while still helping the current population of seniors our members come from a wide

Range of places you’ll see it in those that have to do their been planning their folks from septum which is our transportation authority from an architecture firm from CDC’s from the mayor’s office of sustainability a lot of a lot of different types of organizations and we also have events

And we’ve held over 20 events that try to tap into popular culture and the topics have ranged from the arts to pets to women’s images of the age but here are some that relates urban planning how to do transportations community gardening sustainability and what we’re trying to do is trying to break down

Existing stereotypes about working with seniors and we’re trying to make this topic appealing and cool so Ellen we’re going to just very quickly review those four points can be made of what the EPA aging initiative is about and then we’re going to talk about how we’ve applied it

Here so the first one social connectivity and having connections with your friends and neighbors eating healthy which means access to fresh fruits and vegetables at prices and in volume that’s appropriate for older adults accessible housing we were talking about both access in terms of visibility but also houses that are not falling apart

Around the older adult and mobility especially excuse me public transportation and other forms of transportation other than privately owned automobiles as Kathy said this bringing the model brings active aging together with Smart Growth active aging means that older adults take responsibility and are part of the process and help me maintain their own

Health and well-being and Smart Growth County this probably found especially appealing about the EPA model is if I bring these at these two together active aging and smart growth it also brings together two vocabularies because sometimes difficult the existence we planner the aging community and we kind of speak different languages and this

Model brought those languages together what we did was we took a underbust data from an omnibus health survey that’s conducted in the area we operationalize the four elements and the EPA model of social capital is measured by feelings about neighbors and neighborhood that are at housing but the amount of home

Repair that was needed access to transportation is reports that they older it up need transportation couldn’t get to a doctor because of lack of transportation and access to healthy foods was measured by the quality groceries in the in the area and we looked at how those were associated with

For health outcomes important to us self-rated health which is actually a wonderful measure of work morbidity mortality a number of depressive symptoms being physically active and the desire of the older adults remaining their own home we found out that not only are the EPA factors related to those outcomes but even when controlling

To the effect of poverty and minority status the relationship is maintained which means that interventions based on the DEA model can have positive health outcomes for old photo of the results now we’re just going to give you some examples from those four different principles of projects were working on

Here in Philadelphia the first time she was park the second community gardens the third the zoning code and the forest trip education so the EPA principle number one social connectivity as you all are aware city parks can provide seniors with the opportunity for social interaction relaxation and both passive

And active exercise oh we just got kicked off guys home okay they can also serve as venues to build intergenerational cohesion within neighborhoods so despite Philadelphia’s wealth of open public space seniors are under utilizing parks in 2010 I’m wondering if other people are kicked off too okay I’ll keep going so in 2010

Seventy-two percent of older adults in the city reported not having attended a public recreation facility including a park in the past year well just one percent said that there was no public recreation facility near their home so in the summer 2010 I got together with a gem Philly member from the Fairmount

Park Conservancy which is a nonprofit that fundraisers for the parks Philadelphia Parks and Recreation to look at how we can encourage seniors to use parks more we jointly created an age-friendly parks checklist which details the features in a park that we thought would encourage usage by seniors

And are the checklist is available on our website and examples from the list include creating more shaded areas adding railings of stairway along stairways and ensuring that sidewalks are both wide enough for wheelchair and firm enough so that it doesn’t sink into the dirt the next step was then to show

This to seniors to see what they think we did this is focus groups and Allen’s going to talk about that assess heck but since fine-tuning the list of the seniors we’ve been using it to identify signature age friendly parks to market to seniors we’ve been working with the

Class at UPenn and urban planning and we will be also working with them a note ii class at university of sciences also for students take a look at these parks see what they think and also our partners at the Horticultural Society will be using the list for some future capital improvements

And we hope that it’s used when new parks are built and the future of the Fairmount Park Conservancy will be seeking funding to create programming for seniors in these signature age friendly parks like Tai Chi and yoga so Alan do you want to talk about the research portion yeah I’m going to

Describe how how resources imported this parks effort i also want to use it as an opportunity to illustrate how different research methods get used or to focus on one particular goal so one thing we use a statistics and you can see seventy-two percent of older Philadelphians report not using public recreation facilities

So then we’ve defined the problem then we go into gif’s we go into mapping we look at the relationship where parts are to older adults who have a functional impairment that interferes with living independently we call them iadl impairments and you can see that areas that have very high rates of people with

Over a voter’s of the iud ellen parents are also close two parts creates an opportunity if we do something about the parks then perhaps you know more of those adults would enjoy them and finally use qualitative methods in order to figure out how to solve the problem

We did focus groups at senior housing and senior centers and we show them the proposed parts check possessing that they wanted most and what they told us universally were the two things they want most are safety and safety it can be defined either in terms of who else

Is in the park or concerns of bikes and automobiles moving through the part and bathrooms and we also learned that they would prefer to go into parks and groups for a number of reasons and those kinds of lessons then get turned back into a case aw policy initiative on the second

EP principal eating healthy here’s an alarming statistic sixty-five percent of older Philadelphians report being obese or overweight there are a number of efforts citywide to increase access to fresh foods in the city especially food deserts and PCA is pitching in by encouraging community vegetable gardens of senior centers and senior housing

Complexes in February 2011 Billy led a groundbreaking event at city hall called germinating partnerships connecting seniors to community gardens which aim to bring together aging network organizations and groups that work with community gardens and through the event we created an online toolkit to promote gardens at senior centers

Which is on our gentili website and then we also created a listserv to connect connect folks around the issue and if you’re interested in becoming a part of that was served let me know but after the event the secretary of aging stated that he would like to have a garden that

Each Senior Center in Pennsylvania which is super exciting and we also worked with the EPA on a fact sheet that instructs communities on how to create elder friendly gardens but it’s actually with the brownfields initiative as a PA and here is what the fact sheet looks

Like and the link is well it’s a wonderful wonderful resource and then also a great research project came out of the Jenna Philly events with Alan is going to talk about again we use multiple methods here we did some statistics which kid is already shared we looked at where / votes report the

Greatest difficulty in accessing fresh fruits and vegetables it overlaps weather’s greatest poverty and we were asked by some of these sites that run gardens to do an evaluation of the both senior housing and senior senior centers and what we did when we brought in a research is a good senior and garden

Evaluation you again using a focus group technique as it’s not so much what benefit you know the elder is getting from the cold we had which was you know eating more fresh fruits and vegetables being physically active but what the older adults themselves thought were the reason they wanted to garden because

That’s going to make the difference in terms of what these programs are successful and interestingly enough the number one goal the number one reason over adult reported liking gardening was an emotional or mental health benefit the I did makes calm relaxing they don’t think about anything else they’ve got a

Lot of pleasure out of eating the products that they had on that they had grown you even asked pain didn’t seem to go away when they were lost in the garden they also mentioned canoeing tradition many of these older adults had gardens before as children responsibilities this is a very

Important one many over adults say that their love but they’re not respected and here’s something with the older adult maybe the expert the teacher the mentor has a lot of meanings Beauty aesthetics have a lot of meaning we’re older adults they want neighborhoods they want things that look beautiful and garden certainly

Helped with that they build social connections learning something new and finally being a help to other other older adults and growth those are listed in the order that they appeared so mental and emotional health appeared most often as a reason now I’m going to move on to the third principle which is

Accessible housing sixty-eight percent of C or homeowners report remains they desire to remain in their homes for at least 10 years and by the way that’s mostly related to how they feel about their neighbor it’s not about the house or themselves but there are two big challenges one has to do with physical

Frailty you can see almost a quarter have to use some device in the home and almost 40% say it’s difficult to cover housing costs and as far as the frailty goes if you look at the picture again concerns to be difficult to work to the third or fourth floor of that building

Which means they may not know when a roof is the game to have problems and they may not have the funds to fix the home again this is where residents report Jaime for home repair and if you know the city the areas with the highest be four home repair also among the

Poorest in this city so by identifying of income and frailty and the interaction between the two as to particular means um Kate started a policy in prevention yeah so in 2008 Philadelphia began the process of modernizing of zoning code for the first time in 40 years and at that time we did

A search to the old code and the words aging elder and senior citizens and we’re not mentioned in the code at all so we worked with the head of Temple University’s Regional Planning program Deborah how and the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporation’s to identify ways to incorporate aging

Community into the code the first was through accessory dwelling units or granny flats or mother-in-law suite says they’re sometimes called ad use are subordinate additional residences that are constructed within a residential property or garage for example on the first floor of a row home and they can benefit seniors by providing the

Opportunity to downsize and live in the same building but stay on the same community and they can also have caregivers above them they can make some money renting it out above them and so forth and some Philadelphians have actually built these illegally which poses a great deal a great challenge for

Emergency personnel you can’t identify the unit so we were wanting to get these into the code PCA also works with the zoning code Commission’s to include requirements for at least some new private housing to be visited I know Kathy had to find it earlier but when a

When a home is visible at the place where people of all ages and abilities can enter circulate and enjoy and it you know features the zero step entrance which is super important in Philadelphia because most of our homes our row homes and they feature front steps the half

Bath and all the hallways and doorways be wide enough and just like I was saying before what’s good for seniors is good for people of all ages these features are really important because I mean because they’re there they’re also really important people with you know kids for bicyclists if you know you’re

Going to the airport you have your you know luggage and so forth people with temporary disabilities if you broke a leg so yeah so in december two thousand eleven the code was passed with limited provisions for these features but we’re really happy that the vocabulary was introduced and incorporated to into the

New code going to move on to the next feature which is transportation you’ve got a while we’re having a little trouble moving to our next slide not quite sure why well in any case okay what we’re having trouble without that all right here next oh here we move from just

Using GIS and using um statistic separately but integrating the two fifty percent of the city flowing from El did not live in a home with an automobile so we looked at you can see in this map we map where people report canceling a doctor’s of women due to transportation

Problem in relation to hospitals we realize most people do not use hospitals for their primary care is over their primary care physician is many older adults you specialist they do the test Hospital location is important but we look at this map two things struck us

One was that there are a lot of people living in areas far away from hospitals that don’t report a high rate of cats and doctors appointments and to their areas where there are high rates of canceling that are right near hospitals we know those areas also seem to have a

Lot of low-income elvers so using the g is the maps we created we developed the hypothesis that poverty rather than distance the hospital is the major predictor of canceling md employment we then integrated data that we had taken from g is the location of hospitals for data from the Omnibus health survey

Cancelling physician appointment self-rated health and income and indeed we confirmed our hypothesis poverty rather than distance the hospital is the major predictor of chance of a physician appointment and we also found that health self-rated health poverty rather than business off of the major predictor of self-rated health so by putting those

Pieces together we were able to understand that again frailty and poverty together create the so they’ve aged only Philadelphia we’re not just trying to create new initiatives but we’re also we also want to highlight existing efforts to increase knowledge about services that help seniors and transportation is a

Great example here is a chart that was created with one of our gen family members from septa our Transportation Authority for an event that we held that our metropolitan planning organization the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission about about some innovation around transportation for seniors and so

For example you’ll see from the chart in in Philadelphia we are super lucky that seniors have the benefit of riding bus trolley and subway lines for free and regional rail for just one dollar so we’re really trying to get the word out about this and trying to get seniors to

Sign up another example you’ll see bus stops all bus stops in Philadelphia responsibility of the city and their maintenance and upkeep are contracted out to a private vendor and we’ve really tried to promote their efforts to get a new contract to create more bus shelters that are each friendly meaning that they

Have heating and lighting because if you know silly most of the staffs are just alone Pole so this is the new shelters would really benefit people of all ages but they would might make the most difference to people with mobility problems who might not be able to stand

So long period of time and who can be especially well of specially vulnerable to foul weather so moving forward we’ve been looking at what other cities are doing and trying to see if they can inspire collaborations in Philadelphia one is pop-up intergenerational cigarettes England’s been creating a lot

Of playgrounds for seniors and so inspired by this we’ve been working with a group called play in between that has made a pop-up temporary place based on the Ben Franklin Parkway and we’ve been working with them to stable you can create a pop-up playground in South

Philly that would be good for people of all ages and abilities another one is senior snow core we’ve been working with the mayor’s office of civic engagement on an effort to catalyze Civic and other local neighborhood based organizations to get younger folks help seniors to shovel

Their walks and so far we’ve talked with Pittsburgh in Chicago that have really successful programs another has to do with a calming traffic around senior centers and in New York City has been a lot of work with this so we’re in the beginnings of conversations with our

City about it and then safe routes to schools we’ve been talking with a group in Atlanta their regional commission they have a pilot program called grandparents for safe routes to schools so we’ve been trying to learn more about that and see if we can get a program

Like that going on in Philadelphia and so next steps for research well 31 is we want a better integration of GIS and statistics on there are interfaces but we’re looking at becoming more adept at moving between between the two and integrate the two we’ve been looking at new community needs assessment which are

Different in clinical assessments or from individual and although and health impact assessments because I think these are more surveying older adults and um just looking at their current needs and finally we have a grant from the National Health which tape named it the walk abilities impact to your health and

We’re looking at the impact of environment on health behaviors including getting fresh fruits and vegetables being physically active and we’ll also using that as a way of increasing are on our sophistication about GIS and statistical analyses and here’s our contact information if you’re interested in continuing a conversation

And definitely check out our website p CAH friendly and also the Gentilly website jeune fille org so thank you Jenna pass it on you alright I’m going to block 0x out now the contact for today’s speakers uhm tae for today’s speakers are right here shown on the screen and right now I’m

Just going to get us some questions that were asked that have been asked throughout the throughout the webcast the first that I well the yeah the most recent question that i received comes from Richard Kenya he writes it appears that the accessibility visibility standards integrated into codes is really building code related regulations

And not zoning code related regulations is this correct the only exception maybe allowing accessory accessory dwelling units as a permitted or conditional use in a zoning district and required disability parking space in zoning code is it on yeah okay great um yeah and you know i’m not an expert at all in

Building codes or zoning codes I’m just trying to I was just trying to facilitate it I’m here in Philadelphia but it actually was included in our code and if you want to check it out if you go in on zoning matters org you can look at our newly adopted code and you can

See in terms of visit ability there is a section that says it in any subdivision containing 50 or more detached semi-detached or attached houses at least ten percent of the houses shall be visit of old welling units and then in terms of accessory dwelling in if there’s a whole big portion as well

However it was actually I believe it was an unresolved issues still so it’s in the code but it there isn’t a defined area where you can actually permitted area where you use them Kathy did you have anything else you wanted to add about build a zoning yes yeah is the

Phone past is the phone path to me can you hear me yep Gary let’s see okay sorry i was going to say I I think that the question it was absolutely right i mean the those are dealing with building codes and i would say that i think the goal going back to

The seatbelt analysis you know ten percent is it really isn’t appropriate when we know that about sixty percent during the course of the house are going to need to person looking in the house is going to need to have that exit ability key and obviously it deals with

People visiting the home to which you know may or may not have a disability so yes it is dealing with the building code and I think when there are almost restrictions of the wrong direction of only encouraging of subsets like only every other car or every ten percent of

The cars have seat belts that wouldn’t be the right thing to do so he had the zoning probably is more directly with this accessory dwelling units and building code for the homes but I think as planners I think having sort of the big picture the retrofitting is very

Expensive to do at much more so than doing it up front too so I think the suspect to the general goal of planners you know thinking ahead okay um another question that came in this is a sort of a technical question can we get the web

Address on for the first speaker for the document that you were referring to on the first speaker that was a that was that Kathy or Kathy Kathy all right with Ramona with very first I don’t know which one they’re referring to all right all right um yeah if you can own if just

A document that was being referred to or robin Bancroft ask that question Robin if you’d like to be lumpy a little more specific um following up and we can ask that again uh regarding and she’ll ask please explain what a pop-up playground is okay um well there’s an organization

Of philadelphia called play in between and christine kevin is the director of it and um they created a temporary place based on the Ben Franklin Parkway with play equipment and furniture that could be like stored away overnight and you can check out the website and see

It looks like and so just had met with them Christine and and we’ve also we’ve gotten other partners involved to civic associations in South Philly a landscape architecture architect from an organization called designed for generations that Carmen and we’ve all been having discussions about creating a space there’s a lot that’s privately

Owned we’ve been thinking about working with the owner integrated space with play equipments or I don’t know we’re still like trying to figure it out but thanks i meant that people of all ages would want to use i think that a lot of grandparents go to playgrounds with

Their grandchildren and maybe would want to be physically active or active with them and not just it would you want to see a play space just for seniors or just for kids but for everybody it’s we’re still exploring it but um just sounds kind of like a neat idea okay

Summer summer sharp as how did these ideas apply to small towns suburban locations and more of the rural areas in the West this is cast hey I’m happy to say that we have I think that the same goals that we have for you know using unused land or vacant lots in urban

Areas and concentrating new development where the center of towns are in rural areas there still are gathering places and still having the town center be where people come in to you know do many of their errands is still the idea of how we organize things of rural areas

And I think the knees are the same whether we’re in urban suburban or rural areas obviously there’s there are some tools on our website to deal specifically with rural areas but I think the issues are still the same about the goals of our guidebook and we have examples and winners from small and

Some smaller areas communities as well as larger cities so smart growth and active aging is important throughout the country and and there can be things that can be done from a development standpoint or programs organizing even in the rural setting okay sounds good um Gregory Perkins asks

Is it interesting that EPA is involved in aging many people think that environmental just means natural resources oh he says I’m sorry it he says interesting that EPA is involved in aging many people think that environmental just means Natural Resources HUD and HHS both have aging

Services as well do HUD and HHS both have aging services as well right I’ll be happy to you know say that many people don’t know the mission of EPA is first to safeguard public health as well as the environment so our mission is to protect public health almost and we are

A regulatory agency although everything we’ve pretty much spoken of today are all volunteer examples of things because the decision-makers are at the local level but as an agency we do set standards for clean air and safe drinking water and so forth you know for all people and it addresses

Environmental needs you probably are familiar with environmental impact assessments that were required after nepo was passed you know like 40 years ago but also there’s been a movement now on health impact assessments that CDC and people in England have actually been leaders on that really say that how we

Build can make a big difference on on public health ins and has been I’ve seen some wonderful presentations by howie frumkin and andy dannenberg from cbc that have shown how the obesity rates have grown if you can imagine a map of the United States and light yellow

Turning darker and darker red as obesity rates increase and the obesity problem is not just a children’s issue it’s all ages and part of it I would say is definitely how we’ve designed our communities so thinking about how as we plan great places to be you know pop up

Play places or great Gardens you know it’s good for the soul it’s good for our health and probably good for the environment so that’s why we’re involved Christmas Ramona I can talk a little bit about HUD you know with the pointer ship is sustainable communities effort that’s going on between do etot

HUD and USDA and other agencies there’s been more of a focus on being able to broaden HUDs perspective or in regards to its impact on seniors as you know it does have senior housing as part of its responsibility for low-income senior housing but there’s also efforts not

Only through research but also do agent interagency partnerships and just streamlining programs to be able to expand on what’s already there and HUD and be able to create a much more supportive environment especially with the onslaught of an aging population so I mean I think I think Kath you and I

Both agree that EPA has been a very strong lead especially as it has to relate to smart growth and it end those efforts in terms of the federal government and I like to think that the other agencies are catching up I mean we do know that CDC has been really

Involved so I mean I think more and more the federal agencies are coming on board with much much stronger programs ok the next question that was posed in queue um what does ADL impairment or I I think this is I iadl impairment mean only study impairments my older adults we

Usually flip them it’s functional impairments into two groups and activities of daily living which are very basic can you eat yourself can you bathe yourself can you dress yourself and I EDL’s which are instrumental activities of daily living can you prepare a meal can you go shopping for yourself that is

To what extent can you live independently those criteria are often used both for setting eligibility requirements for for programs and services they also are very related to health outcomes and what we found is that environmental change that people already have some of these impairments who make the environment more accessible

To them they’re less likely to employ the client more gradual it takes more time the more less accessible the environment the greater the decline in both ADL and I ADL impairments if I could just chime in Alan said it very eloquently but I’d also say if you think

Of yourself as a planner is trying to make it be you know that commercial about pushing the easy button if we made if we integrated back into our daily lifestyle you know walking to the corner grocery store that there is a corner grocery store and we’re not in a place

As a food desert that there are options of getting around because there are sidewalks for example or that there’s a safe place to cross the street you know if it just makes it easier to do the things that keep us active and physically engaged and socially active

It can improve health so this is your job is sort of to think about you know making it push the easy button in your community by design okay I want to say one other thing about um ad lidl is impairments people with those kinds of impairments often don’t get counted in

Surveys depending on the way the survey is done ADL impairment like poverty can be barriers um why social media are often not the best way to get to older adults fifty percent of Philadelphia’s elderly do not use the foo do not use the internet and they’re disproportionately low income and so in

Terms of involving elders in these processes really need to think about the best way to do and recognize the people with impairments people low-income are not necessarily adept at some of the data collection methods like using the internet or things like that that may be more effective and

More popular in younger population and wealthier population okay um I’m just going to ask the next one what was the name of Holly Holly metal asks what was the name of the srts aging program in Atlanta oh um take the safe route for school is that what we’re talking about

That’s yeah that safe routes to school yeah yeah that’s um mapleton they actually just one on the ETA award this year I know Cathy can talk a little bit more about that yeah I mean I think they were talking about the safe routes for grandparents grandparents to school that

Was you were talking about it too well they’re AARP has been encouraging folks to be involved getting the grand kids walk to school again getting people out of cars I don’t know if you’ve ever seen at conferences when people raise their hands I’m a Boomer myself I think Kate’s

A little bit younger and Alan I’m not sure if you’re a Boomer but we might be on boomers but you know when we were kids we all walked to school but my brother’s kids and you know the generations later almost all they move the school’s out to the you know the

Suburbs and the only way to get to school was by bus so this is sort of a movement to encourage physical activity for all generations by having safe routes for seniors there’s also seniors or grandparents helping walk kids to school so mableton was one of those places and I’ll just I’ll just quickly

Say to that one of the barriers to having elders use public transportation had to do with people never having used it before to somehow think that they’re magically going to use it so Atlanta Regional Commission did a wonderful job by actually having elders show their

Peers how to use how to read a bus schedule how to read the metro or bus line our train system so and go with them they found that was the cheapest thing to do is just to show them you know have them go with a violent ear one time to use the system

So I think that you can think of that in terms even for younger generations so people know how to get around and also that that’s one of the options that they have okay a Patrick nearing as you mentioned the importance of coronary of corn and grocery stores do you have any

Suggestions on how to encourage them or make them financially viable good question I have a different little story but I think you know the SNAP program I guess is what the USDA the former food stamps program is that helps low-income seniors get access to fresh foods I

Think if you know it’s one of these things we’re encouraging you know the the big places the big warehouse is sort of compete on price but you know if someone doesn’t have access to a car that corner grocery store is really key local food markets are popping up and i

Can tell you an example i know this is a big city one but again I think there’s one in Charlottesville Virginia as well New York City had buses at schools that were idling during the day they weren’t transporting kids to and from their homes and there were seniors in high

Rises that had sort of aged in place you know so what’s the senior housing place when it started but that’s where people just continue to live and it became of senior housing place and they had no access by transportation to get to a local farmers market that was in a

Building they literally had the school buses in New York work it out where they actually transport elders during the day to pick up food so the farmers benefit is the healthy foods that elders got benefited so I kind of say if there’s a will there’s a way I mean if there’s a

Critical mass of folks in the Beacon Hill models that are happening in boston and other places are just people saying we’ve got to fix this problem so identifying problems or you know if you can use the GIS maps to find that you know where there’s food deserts and you

Know talk to neighborhood businesses to say you know this neighborhood can really support a grocery store that would be really helpful to feed this demographic group here of all ages that it has to get on a bus and go for 10 miles to get to their closest grocery

Store that sells fresh fruits and vegetables it’s really critical I think we should be thinking about that again as a systems approach and as much as we can as advocates for health and well-being and again I think the planners are in a key role there is to

Say hey we shouldn’t be building out here there’s nothing there’s no infrastructure here we should be going and reusing and redoing the homes here that are near where there’s a whole bunch of resources I don’t know if that answers your question you ah you know I just asked a question i

Just realized that my audios on mute so i’m going to go again um tools to really get serious it’s tools to really get seniors to participate our focus groups the best method and are they are they into social media is social media a Bible outlet of senior participation

Social media among use of my older results as I said before is very class-based um and we can tell that because many people filled up casinos have a cell phone but they do not have access to a computer they’re not using low-income elders are not using Facebook

They’re not using a lot of the traditional kind of social media outlet so surveys that are done in that way disproportionately collect information from healthier and wealthier older adults who are often the more politically active also so that their interest get represented sometimes over the interests of the very frail and and

The very poor and that’s a classic problem focus group c Senior Center is giving people an opportunity to speak and other methods to gather information for prey low-income non-english speaking Tom elders but critical their time intensive there are a lot of work but without that you just get um just a

Piece of it and probably the problem is and I don’t mean to criticize anybody that’d be the boomer image is an image and only applies to a portion of the current older generation you know the wealthy educated you know outspoken whatever else comes with the Boomer Philadelphia for example has the problem

Public and parochial high schools that had the largest number of graduates died in Vietnam those were not the Boomer and so in that very diverse overpopulation we have to be sure that we’re touching all the constituencies and not the ones that are most educated most vocal and most sophisticated in in making their

Wishes know alright quickly say two if I can just really quickly just saying that you know I think going to groups that work with older adults like the National Association of area Agencies on Aging the coalition of Wisconsin aging groups senior centers in your community there folks that can help get that feedback

For you know what they’d like planners to help make their commuter community a better place to live for all ages all right I’m going to ask the next question tips on interface between Jenn Philly age groups and seniors well actually Gentiles target audience is emerging are the emerging leaders in Philadelphia

People primarily in their 20s and 30s so it’s more of a professional development to all the group is and so I’m not sure in terms of getting younger people to connect with older people one of the one of the things that I’ve heard from some

Of the gen Philly folks is that I don’t know if you all are familiar with like the DIY movement to do it yourself you know like everybody’s canning and you know sewing and doing community gardening and one of the things that we’ve talked about often is that the old

Older folks in our community are the original di wires you know they were doing victory gardens and canning tomatoes and so forth back in the day so trying to find a common you know common threads to bring groups together i think for via goods are good ways to do so

Bound to give any other yeah i think anything increase the opportunity we’re older adults and younger results are being collaborative and cooperative rather than one doing something for the other those that and jen phillies created a lot of those opportunities by getting members to think about these things getting members to think about

How they can involve older adults in their work by making them aware of the different kinds of interest and expertise that exists in the older adult population and that becomes very important because otherwise intergenerational becomes photo ops and mountain more so it’s creating those moments where there really is a common interest

Like in gardening something like that and then giving them the opportunity to work together us the other thing we’ve learned from that by the way it is when that happens intergenerational Issei in a Senior Center senior housing it increases trust between the older adult and the sometimes a social worker who

May be 60 years younger of a different rates in education and once that trust is built um once that trust is built and other kinds of reliable information can you pan older adults get an enormous amount of unreliable information that’s how they wind up losing their homes

That’s how they wound up spending money and work with health care or health care schemes of 50-plus by the way is the fastest growing group for new HIV infections because there’s so little knowledge about how to avoid HIV infection in this age group so building those trust relationships can be

Critical all right I’m going to ask one last question for the for the afternoon and then we’ll wrap up by giving cm information as well as you know my final thanks to you all of to everyone what do you suggest is the best way for a community to get started using the EPA

Model who needs to take the lead and be brought to the table this is Cathy I’ll try it I definitely want to have Kate wait after this too because of the wonderful groups that you bring together I mean I really think every neighborhood is going to be different but finding the

People who are community leaders and they can be from NGOs they can be from the business sector they can be from local government your local government you know you the planning office and take aleve you we’ve had partners as I mentioned with the people who Sicily din different community change all different

Offices within county governments or within local governments so I think it’s finding you know the critical mass or usually has to be some you know a synergistic person or i should say some person who’s the catalyst i’m sorry the leader who kind of you know stirs up

Trouble in a good way meaning getting people together focusing on what changes you to happen to make the local community a better place to live throughout life but I defer to Kate but i will say anybody who would like a copy of the resource Ramona think we can mail them out

Growing smarter living healthier so you can look at what we prepared through the eyes for an elder to get it involved but this is the same way the reverse way of how a planner could get involved too I would echo what Cassie said about getting a diverse group of people around

The table definitely somebody from the area agents in aging for your county and folks from you-know-who involved as urban planning one of the things is that we really did was look to see what were existing opportunities so what was already happening with the zoning code was happening you know there’s been so

Much work on with parks here so I mean things that are already going on and trying to capitalize on on those types of things and trying to integrate older adults into those programs instead of just reinventing the wheel and asking your partners to start up new programs

See what’s actually going on and maybe taking those four different principles and spotting it out and trying to see and look for opportunities within each one and start making lots of appointments for meeting with it’s like all about all about meeting people algae given am no I think that that that fit

You did you know you that one of the things we really like about the eca framework it is a framework and you can take different opportunities for those different areas not everybody so that visit ability of the priorities we do partly because the states that visit ability was already something being

Discussed here so seeing as a framer brazos that a rigid set of rules really provides offerings for creativity and you know and approaching it in whatever ways most appropriate for the local environment right well thank you alan that final for that final thought just some other final

Thoughts when I when we close out the webinar you’re going to get an evaluation form feel free to ask any questions that you didn’t get a chance to what suppose on within that evaluation you could also also the PowerPoint presentations which were presented today will be available

Sometime next week early next week for your viewing so with that said just like to go over just a few housekeeping items until all going to M credits go to planning org sets because i liked activities by date once again this is the aging friendly agenda today is March
