As part of the Age Strong VT plan, our State Unit on Aging wants to learn about older Vermonters’ needs and aspirations! They are surveying older adults and family caregivers. Please share your feedback to help them understand our community. The surveys will remain open for responses through September 27.
Age Strong VT is a new 10-year visionary plan with strategies for making Vermont a great place for all ages and stages of life. Vibrant age-friendly communities foster economic growth and benefit the happiness and health of all residents.
Vermont’s older population is our fastest growing age group. By 2030, one in three of us will be over the age of 60. Becoming an age-friendly state requires a holistic approach that brings us together to ensure older Vermonters are able to contribute their time, wisdom, talents and skills to our communities and to address a wide range of changing needs—such as housing, healthcare, transportation, caregiving, access to healthy food, education and employment.
