Becoming an Age-Friendly City

The City of San Mateo has been designated as a Age-Friendly City by the World Health Organization for its commitment to being a welcoming community for people of all ages. See the community news release for more information!

The City’s Age-Friendly Task Force needs your help as they are developing a program that will certify qualifying local businesses of all types as “Age-Friendly”. This will be based on their meeting specific criteria that are important to seniors shopping for their products or services. They need to know which criteria are most important to YOU to finalize the list.  Please let them know by answering the questions accessible through the link below. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TFD3MBP 

Your opinions can help businesses adapt to better meet the needs of our growing senior population. Thank you!
