7. Good practice: Older citizens friendly places


Example of good practice from Poland:
The Ombudsman and the Commission of Experts for Elderly People. (weblink)

We know that different people feel more comfortable in different places. We also know that younger people spend their time in different places than older people – so if we want to include older people in spending more time out of their homes, we have to think of places in the public area that are older citizens friendly, such as community houses, cultural institutions, shops, pharmacies, various public and other institutions.
