<p> A needs assessment was conducted with participants from the city of León in México. The AARP Age-Friendly Community framework was used to look at four domains: Social Participation, Respect & Social Inclusion, Work & Civic Engagement and Community & Health Services to evaluate the needs of older adults, to detect services available and to identify gaps between needs and services available. A non-random, snowball sampling technique was used to survey twenty-six adults aged 60 and older receiving health services, and twenty-seven service providers working in organizations that serve older adults. The results indicated that Work and Civic Engagement have the largest gap between needs and services available from the perspective of both groups. The domain with the second largest need-service gap is Respect and Social Inclusion, followed by Community and Health Services. The domain reported to be the strongest with the most needs covered is Social Participation.</p><p>
