Master Plan for the Aging Population

In Howard County, the number of adults aged 65 and over is projected to double over the next two decades. The Department of Citizen Services has launched the County’s Master Plan for the Aging Population initiative to examine whether existing older adult services and senior centers will be adequate to support increased demand. And, due to the increasing awareness of how aging itself is changing, the Master Plan will also look at what services Howard County’s older adults may need and want over the next 20 years. If you are 45 or older, consider participating in the brief online survey. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1669716/Howard-County Your answers will provide valuable input in planning for one of the fastest growing sectors of our population.
