Area Plan on Aging: Update Process

2010 - 2011 Area Plan Update

ADS concluded the public comment period on August 14, 2009 for the biennial update to its Area Plan on Aging. The final plan was submitted to the State and approved for use on January 1, 2010.

2008 - 2011 Area Plan Development Process

The Area Plan on Aging is written every 4 years and updated bi-annually to include progress on goals and objectives and reflect the most current budget.

To guide the development of our current four year area plan, ADS gathered public input, collaborated with experts on issues areas, and conducted research on the needs of older adults and adults with disabilities. The draft plan was subject to a public review process and then submitted to the State for final approval.

The research and public input process included:

• Area Plan Survey Results
• Focus on the Future Forums

In 2011, ADS will begin work on the next four year plan on aging, 2012-2015.
