Give Input on Aging in the Neighborhood

This could be a good place to make a pitch for sidewalks and public transportation- that’s what I did. 🙂  This survey is for all ages (we’re all aging).

Pinehurst Seattle,

Aging and Disability Services (ADS) needs community input! Every four years, ADS prepares a new Area Plan on Aging for King County, which guides our work. As we prepare to draft a new plan for 2012 through 2015, we need to hear from Seattle and King County residents.

We invite residents of all ages to complete an online questionnaire. We especially encourage people who are age 60 or older, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers to respond.

The questionnaire is posted at www.agingkingcounty.org. You can also get there via an article in Senior Digest about the planning process. Print copies are available on request.

Responses from this questionnaire will inform development of strategies to promote quality of life, independence and choice for older people and adults with disabilities, which will be carried out over the next four years.

Everybody is aging, so everybody should care.

For more information about the Area Plan on Aging or the questionnaire, contact ADS planner Karen Winston (206-684-0706).

Thanks in advance for completing the survey yourself and for helping to spread the word that we want everyone’s input.
