Please watch the following video to learn more about Burlingame’s journey to join the WHO/AARP age-friendly network:

  • To improve and expand communications with our senior/older adult population so that they are aware of currently existing services (covers all age-friendly domains)
  • To expand communication with this population to ensure they know of upcoming age-friendly services and resources in City of Burlingame (also covers all age-friendly domains)

Implementation efforts will include (partial list):

  • Investigate methods that other cities, the County, and community organizations have used successfully to communicate information to their older adult populations. 
  • When appropriate, collaborate with community partners to communicate about resources, services, and activities to older adult residents. 
  • Include information about the senior newsletter in the quarterly Recreation brochure. 
  • Make use of civic spaces, such as the library, community center, and the weekly Farmer’s Market, to provide information. 

The City of Burlingame is also excited to announce their adoption of a new app called “Simplicity” to help citizens stay informed and on top of City news and events. 

Citizens can receive news and updates from all City Departments and many local organizations and businesses on a variety of topics. Seniors will be interested in topics such as Crime & Safety, Arts & Entertainment, Home & Garden, Local Events, City Hall Updates, and many more.
