Age Friendly Berkshires is a collaborative initiative aimed at creating a more livable Berkshire County for people of all ages, with a particular focus on the needs of an aging population. With a median age of 44, Berkshire County is older than the rest of Massachusetts and the United States, making it crucial to ensure that residents can live active, safe, healthy, and independent lives in their homes or hometowns for as long as possible.
Recognizing the challenges posed by the changing needs of residents in a rural area, Age Friendly Berkshires is dedicated to improving regional assets, programs, and resources to find innovative solutions that enhance all aspects of community life. Through collaboration and fundamental change, this initiative aims to address issues such as accessible transportation, housing variety, access to health and community services, technological infrastructure, and more, with the ultimate goal of creating a more age-friendly future for all residents of Berkshire County.
