Age-Friendly Santa Fe Survey

We want to hear from you! As part of the Age-Friendly Santa Fe Initiative, we’re collecting input from residents to understand what helps people of all ages and abilities thrive in our city.

What is Age-Friendly Santa Fe? 

Age-Friendly Santa Fe began when the City of Santa Fe joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. The AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities is a program that provides support and resources to improve a community’s livability for people of all ages, especially older adults. This network connects communities across the globe to share insights, practices, and resources that help communities improve along 8 Domains of Livability:

  • Outdoor Spaces and Buildings 
  • Transportation 
  • Housing 
  • Civic Participation & Employment 
  • Health Services & Community Support 
  • Social Participation 
  • Communication & Information 
  • Respect and Social Inclusion 

Now that Santa Fe is part of the network, the next step in the AARP Age-Friendly program process is to conduct a community needs assessment and develop an age-friendly action plan. The age-friendly action plan will create goals and strategies to improve the quality of life for Santa Feans along the 8 Domains of livability.  The City of Santa Fe will develop these goals and strategies based on the insights and opinions the community will share through our Age-Friendly Santa Fe Survey and Age-Friendly Santa Fe community events.
