AAA- Assessment for Developing Comprehensive and Coordinated Service System |
Description of Assessment
The Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is involved in formulating the 2012-2016 Area Plan on Aging for Region A. We are soliciting input through the survey below. Please take a few moments to give us your thoughts on needs & areas of concern within your county, as well as what activities you think should be addressed by the AAA.
This needs assessment will assist the Area Agency on Aging in meeting one of the most significant expectations of the Older Americans Act—namely, the Area Agency’s role in helping create a comprehensive and coordinated service system [OAA 306(a)(7)]. The Act requires an assessment of the unmet needs of older adults and gaps in services.
There is special emphasis on older adults with the greatest social and economic needs, with particular attention to older individuals with low-income, including minority individuals with low-income and, older individuals with limited English proficiency, and older adults residing in rural areas.
