“The Age-Friendly Standards self-assessment checklist is designed to help you assess and monitor your organisation’s progress against the Age-Friendly Standards. It also provides an opportunity to think about how you can further improve on what you offer in terms of what is achievable within your own organisational context. Whilst it may not be possible to fulfil each of the recommendations, your provision should be clearly communicated including:

• Any limitations which could cause difficulties for older people accessing the facilities.

• What you are doing to make improvements.” (p.4)
