Active aging philosophy

Changing the way we age®

We can change the way we age by staying active, to the fullest extent possible, within all areas of life: physical, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, professional, environmental and social. Aging within these dimensions of wellness keeps us involved, alert and enjoying a productive life.

Active aging

The concept of active aging is summed up in the phrase“engaged in life.” Individuals can participate in life as fully as possible, regardless of socioeconomic status or health conditions, within the wellness dimensions.

Age-friendly

ICAA’s age-friendly philosophy designates programs that provide the information,access and motivation people need to become and stay active through all levels of functional ability.
