Webinar: National Survey of Area Agencies on Aging

A national survey of Area Agencies on Aging is conducted every two to three years. The National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) has released their 2017 survey report. They surveyed 622 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), with 412 completing the survey, to discover what services they commonly offer, how AAAs address funding, and what their policy priorities are. The survey reveals important information such as even though the population is aging rapidly, funding is remaining very much at the same levels and that most AAAs assist more than older Americans by helping those with disabilities, chronic conditions, and veterans. The survey also reveals practices by AAAs and concludes that 93% use evidence-based programming. On July 18, 2017, 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET, n4a will present its findings via a webinar.
