Successes

Feeling confident you can find help if you need it. Not worrying when you cross a street. Feeling valued when you visit a local store. Staying connected and engaged in the community. These are some of the intangibles that make a person want to grow old in the same place they grew up or raised their families. Age-Friendly Teaneck has made some strides toward all of those quality-of-life goals.
