Aging at Home Wayne's Initiatives and Accomplishments:

Outdoor Spaces and Public Buildings

We have obtained grants and purchased 2 picnic tables and 2 garden benches 

Respect and Social Inclusion

We host an annual program and reception to recognize residents over the age of 90.

Social Participation

We have received the use of a large space for our Aging at Home Wayne activities, which has enabled us to provide Luncheons, special speakers, Tai Chi, game space, musical events, and other activities for older residents. In the works are an ongoing art display, a Chair Yoga demo, and a Tai Chi demo. 

Transportation (including promotion of active transportation

Traffic signals for safety in one of our crosswalks; blinking "Village area, go slow" signs.
