Aging in Community neighborhoods intend to be:
INCLUSIVE – welcome people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities, especially elders
SUSTAINABLE – commited to a lifestyle that is sustainable environmentally, economically, and socially
HEALTHY – encourage wellness of the mind, body and spirit
ACCESSIBLE - provide easy access to the home and community (e.g. universal design features, accessible transportation)
INTERDEPENDENT – foster reciprocity & mutual support between family, friends, neighbors and the community
ENGAGED – promote opportunities for civic and social engagement, education, and creative expression

This list makes the concept of a successful aging community to be clear and simple, but for those of us that work in the "field" we know it is not so easy. However, I believe clearly articulated language - like this list - can help us converse with others in a jargon-free way that might help us better tell our story.
