What is Westwood For All Ages?
Westwood for All Ages is an initiative to make Westwood an age-friendly community—a place where all people can live well and thrive even as they age. This program was created through a grant provided by The Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation. The initiative is a partnership of Meals on Wheels North Jersey, the Mayor and Council of Westwood, municipal departments, local businesses, and health and social service providers. Westwood for All Ages is committed to raising the community’s awareness of its senior residents, ensuring that their voices are heard and their ongoing contributions are recognized. The project is guided by an All Ages Steering Committee. Very importantly, the Westwood Mayor and Council recognize the importance of the community’s seniors and they have taken the significant step of forming a Senior Committee that will provide insights into the Borough’s activities impact on its seniors.
Westwood was privileged to be recognized by AARP and the World Health Organization as an Age Friendly Community and inducted into the Network of Age Friendly States and Communities in early 2019. For more details, click HERE.
