Communication and Information
We communicate and receive information in a variety of ways. Age-friendly communities recognize that information needs to be shared through a multitude of methods to reach all populations.
Age-Friendly Glen Cove aims to ensure information is disseminated in multiple formats so residents of all ages and abilities have access to accurate, important information about the City.
Action Plan for Glen Cove:
- Work with each working group to identify what information they would like to better communicate, and the best methods of dissemination. They will work together to create website content, brochures, and flyers, and identify key areas in the city to distribute information, such as bulletins at food stores (King Kullen, North Shore Farms, Stop & Shop), pharmacies, churches, and banks.
- Improve messaging about ageism and the age-friendly initiative.
- Explore opportunities for translator services at City Hall.
- At some point, every person of every age gets hurt, becomes ill or simply needs some help. While it’s important that assistance and care be available nearby, it’s essential that residents are able to access and afford the services required.
