Accessibility Statement

Aging in Place Index wants its research and educational information to be usable by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We welcome feedback when part of the website is difficult to perceive, understand, navigate, or operate.

Our Accessibility Goal

Our goal is to improve alignment with recognized accessibility practices, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, while maintaining a clear and useful reading experience.

Because standards, content, browsers, and assistive technologies evolve, accessibility work is reviewed as an ongoing process rather than a one-time result.

Features That Support Access

  • Semantic page headings and landmarks

  • Keyboard-accessible navigation and controls

  • Visible focus indicators

  • Text alternatives for meaningful images where appropriate

  • Color and typography intended to support readable contrast

  • Responsive layouts for different screens and zoom levels

  • Clear link labels and structured page navigation

Assistive Technology and Browser Support

The website is designed for current versions of commonly used browsers and operating systems. Results can vary based on the combination of browser, device, settings, extensions, and assistive technology.

Keeping your browser and assistive technology updated may provide the best available experience.

Third-Party Content

Some pages may include links, embedded resources, documents, advertisements, or services provided by third parties. We do not control the accessibility of every third-party experience.

If a third-party feature creates a barrier, please let us know. When practical, we may help identify an alternative way to access the relevant information.

Known Limitations and Improvements

Despite ongoing efforts, some content or interactions may not work equally well for every visitor. Older content, complex data, third-party material, or newly introduced features may present limitations.

We prioritize issues based on their impact, frequency, technical complexity, and the availability of an accessible alternative.

Request Assistance or Report a Barrier

If you cannot access information or complete an action, contact us and describe the page, the barrier, the browser or assistive technology used, and the format or accommodation that would help.

We will review the request and make reasonable efforts to provide the information or an accessible alternative.
