State Plan on Aging Equity Focus Groups 2023

Are you a 60+ adult? Or a relative, friend, caregiver, or service provider for an older adult who needs care?

Then ALTSA wants your feedback! Join one of the upcoming focus groups to address older adults' care needs and voice your concerns about barriers experienced or services that could improve.

Who should participate?

We are looking for 60+ adults who need care, relatives or friends, caregivers, or service providers. We aim to hear from diverse communities with lived experience in accessing services and critical issues/needs related to aging care and services.

Your participation will help us better understand your experiences, plan services, and develop the State Plan on Aging for 2023-2027.
