Washington state is taking meaningful steps to become more age- and dementia-friendly — and we need your help to ensure every voice is heard.

DSHS is partnering with the Department of Health and Health Care Authority to gather input from older adults through the Age- and Dementia-Friendly Washington Survey [ [link removed] ]. The survey is live now and will be available until December 7.

Insights from this survey will guide how we plan for more inclusive, supportive communities where people of all ages can thrive. It’s part of Washington’s participation in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities and Dementia Friendly America.

*You can support the effort in two ways*. Take the survey yourself (link above) and encourage others across Washington to take it as well. If you know individuals 60 or older, or adults living with a disability, encourage them to complete the survey.

For more ways to share information about the survey, you are welcome to use the Survey Outreach Toolkit, available in English and 8 other languages. Go to this link - Services for older adults (55+) | Washington State Health Care Authority [ [link removed] ], the Toolkit is located in the yellow box near the top of the page. 

Together, we can make Washington a place where everyone can age with dignity, purpose, and connection.
