Seating is a very important component of age-friendly communities. Appropriate seating supports people of all ages and abilities to access their local community. Everyone appreciates an opportunity to rest, and this is particularly true for older people and people with certain impairments, whether they are physical, cognitive or sensory. This publication, checklist, and toolkit produced by Age Friendly Ireland provides a concise and digestible overview of how to make seating more age-friendly and make communities a great place to live for all.
This publication and toolkit is for all stakeholders working in community development and planning, as well as anyone interested in making the communities in which they live more age-friendly and accessible.
