Oneida County is committed to a process of continual improvement to support active and healthy aging and sustain economic and social vitality.
The AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities supports the work of local, regional, and state governments as they prepare for the nation’s changing demographics. Established in 2012, the Network includes towns, cities, counties, and states that have made a commitment to being more livable for people of all ages, and especially older adults.

This initiative includes livability domains and incorporates Health Across All Policies to better integrate community-based support and services within the health system and across continuum of care.
Leaders from diverse communities, government bodies, and organizations serving residents across Oneida County were invited to serve on the Steering Committee and Work Groups, developing an extensive survey and focus groups to inform the creation of the plan. See the 2021 Action Plan.
The project’s Work Groups and Steering Committee conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the implementation of the 2021 Action Plan and compiled a 2019–2024 Progress Report to share highlights, data, and key insights gained over five years of working with the plan. See the 2019-2024 Progress Report.
