Livability means different things to different people — but basically, it means an environment that supports people of all ages, abilities, and income levels.

AARP's vision is a society in which all people live with dignity and purpose, and fulfill their goals and dreams. AARP Michigan is leading that charge in Michigan, investing in initiatives that make communities safer, more inclusive and better equipped to help people age in place with dignity and independence.
