Making DC Age Friendly: Age-Friendly DC is a coordinated, comprehensive, and collective-action effort whose goal is to ensure that all DC residents are active, connected, healthy, engaged and happy in their environment. The District’s Age-Friendly effort is starting with a focus on adults age 50 and older.

I've lived here for more than 40 years. I'm staying in my house as long as I'm upright. It's incredibly convenient. I can walk to everything - bank, grocery store, dry cleaners. I don't feel isolated. I have great neighbors. I used to be a member of the Capitol Hill Art League and sold some of my paintings there. I am a member of the Capitol Hill Restoration Society.
