Purpose of this survey

The aging and long term care committee is comprised of members of the Down Syndrome Guild, the Mission Project, KU Medical Center and other interested parties. We are parents, grandparents, siblings of people with Down syndrome and professionals who are passionate about meeting the aging needs of those living with Down syndrome.

The committee has been exploring options for adults who are aging with Down syndrome and may require additional supports. We are asking families who have a loved one with Down syndrome who is 25 or older to complete this survey to help us plan for the future. Your feedback will help us thoughtfully consider new programs, educational initiatives and partnerships with medical professionals and nursing homes.

All survey results will remain anonymous. If you would like more information on baseline testing for dementia, group homes or assisted living facilities for persons with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities please email info@kcdsg.org  Thank you for completing the survey!
