Roscommon’s Age Friendly strategy was launched by Roscommon’s Chief Executive and Chairperson of Roscommon’s Age Friendly Alliance, Shane Tiernan. Speaking at the event, he said the strategy “reflects the high level of commitment and focus to continue improving the lives of older people that has been established in the county over the last number of years”.
Roscommon’s Age-Friendly Strategy aims to foster a supportive and vibrant community for all residents, built on the principles of inclusivity, engagement, and empowerment. It seeks to ensure that older residents can live active, fulfilling lives within their local communities.
The overarching goal of the document is to ensure that Roscommon is an ‘Age Friendly County’ with all agencies working together to promote and maintain the best possible health and well-being of older people and to make Roscommon a great place to grow up and grow old in.
