Community invited to take Area Agency on Aging 3 needs survey
MEDIA RELEASE__Every four years Area Agency on Aging 3 conducts a Needs Assessment Survey to help gather data to form the Strategic Plan that will be a blueprint for operations for the future.
The Needs Assessment Survey is given to individuals enrolled in the agency’s programs, providers and community members. The survey is distributed throughout the 7-county service area of Area Agency on Aging 3, including Allen Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin, Mercer, Putnam and Van Wert counties. The Strategic Plan is a document that will help drive the services, supports and resources for the aging population in those seven counties.
“The Needs Assessment survey is a vital tool that helps us truly understand the evolving needs, challenges, and priorities of older adults, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities in our community. The feedback we receive will directly shape our Strategic Area Plan—guiding how services are designed, where resources are directed, and how we advocate for the needs of those we serve over the coming years,” Vice President of Community Living Services at Area Agency on Aging 3, Dre White stated.
White went on to state that every voice matters, and that Area Agency on Aging 3 is asking the community to take just a few minutes to help shape a stronger, more responsive future.
