Lifelong Inman Park 

Lifelong Inman Park, a committee of the Inman Park Neighborhood Association, is dedicated to creating Inman Park as a Lifelong Community that accommodates all ages and incorporates the needs of older residents into all aspects of community planning, development and living. The goals and aspiration of the committee are outlined in the Lifelong Inman Park Plan (see below). Community projects, as described here, present many opportunities for participation. These projects address the needs and interests of those in our neighborhood who are aging-in-place, while also supporting and enhancing life for all other residents regardless of age.

Neighbor-to-Neighbor is a volunteer program organized by the Lifelong Inman Park Committee to facilitate connections between neighbors with a need and those who are able to assist them. Volunteers can help neighbors with getting to medical appointments, provide meals for those recovering from illness, and even help with managing daily tasks that can be difficult.

• Submit a request for assistance 
• Sign-up to volunteer to help

Preferred Senior Housing Model

Recognizing the need for senior housing options in Inman Park and the unique characters of this community, Lifelong Inman Park proposes a model for senior housing that would be specific to Inman Park. See the Inman Park Senior Housing Model.

Lifelong Inman Park Plan

The Lifelong Inman Park plan was supported by the City of Atlanta and the Inman Park Neighborhood Association and conducted by the Lifelong Inman Park committee. The plan, which lays out several recommendations to aid residents so that they can stay in the neighborhood as they age, was voted on by the IPNA in July 2017. The four areas of focus are:

• Lifelong Housing Options
• Lifelong Mobility and Accessibility
• Lifelong Access to Services and Information
• Lifelong Social Interaction
