WHAT:
The Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan 2024 Community Needs Assessment. Completed every three years, this assessment will help us determine the needs in our nine-county region for both caregivers and older adults, as well as those living with a disability.
- Informed Decision-Making: With new data and insights, we will be better equipped to make informed decisions about resource allocation and program development.
- Collaborative Partnerships: We aspire to foster collaborative partnerships with other organizations, institutions, and stakeholders to collectively address the identified needs.
- Measurable Impact: Through this assessment, we will establish a baseline against which we can measure the impact of our efforts over time.
This feedback will help to improve our programs, services, and advocacy.
