A Book for Connecting Older Adults
For the people thinking about how we—and the people we love—will grow older.
The Mobility Matters Solution begins with a deceptively simple idea: growing older in the place you love requires more than a house. It requires a way to remain connected to the people, places, services, and everyday experiences that make a community feel like home.
Created by the advocates at 60 Plus Ride, this practical playbook draws on more than twenty years of work with older adults in rural Weld County, Colorado. Rather than prescribing one answer, it helps communities discover their own—by listening, identifying gaps, building partnerships, and making better use of the resources already around them.
A meaningful book for community leaders, caregivers, aging advocates, healthcare professionals, volunteers—and anyone beginning to think seriously about what it means to age well.
Give this book to someone who wants to make their community a better place to grow older.
The Mobility Matters Solution is a practical resource for community leaders, local governments, libraries, senior centers, aging-services organizations, healthcare providers, nonprofits, community foundations, caregivers, volunteers, advocates, and anyone working to make their community a better place to grow older.
Inside, readers will explore how to:
Identify older adults who may be getting left behind and understand why
Uncover gaps in existing transportation and community services
Listen to older adults, caregivers, healthcare professionals, volunteers, and community partners before building solutions
Engage libraries, senior centers, local governments, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, volunteers, and other community resources
Build greater community ownership around aging-in-place challenges
Develop solutions that reflect a community’s own geography, population, partnerships, and resources
Because aging in place isn't simply about staying home. It's about staying connected to life. The Mobility Matters Solution gives communities a place to start.
All proceeds from the sale of this book support the mission of 60 Plus Ride, a Colorado 501(c)3 nonprofit.
