Welcome to Age-Friendly Teaneck!
Age-Friendly Teaneck is a community-wide project whose mission is to ensure that residents of Teaneck can age-in-place in their homes and community with dignity and independence. The vision of Age-Friendly Teaneck is to help shape the community to become more livable for people of all ages, with particular attention to the rapidly growing number of older adults. An age-friendly community is one that is a great place to grow up and grow old.
Age-Friendly Teaneck's Steering Committee and task forces are developing strategies to enhance the Township's social, economic, and physical environment to ensure that residents remain connected, valued, and supported as they age in place.
Funding for this initiative has been provided by the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation.
Geriatric Services, Inc., a non-profit provider of housing and social services for older adults in Teaneck since 1990, is the organization funded to plan for and coordinate the initiative.
