Area 4 performs two major planning activities on a regular four-year cycle. First, the Agency conducts a Needs Assessment of older adults living throughout the seven county area. Second, we draft our strategic planning document known as the Area Plan (scroll down for more information and links to these documents).
In truth, Needs Assessment activities are ongoing in nature. We have just recently completed a study of Working Caregivers, and we are nearing completion of a report on the Aging Boom. Work on the 2008 Needs Assessment Report will begin soon. Contact the Planner for more details at (916) 486-1876 or via e-mail at: wtift@a4aa.com
Work on the Area Plan is also ongoing, and new Needs Assessment findings are incorporated along the way. The document is updated annually in accordance with state requirements (scroll down to find the latest draft). The Agency often submits midyear Amendments to the Plan as well in order to reflect adjustments including staff assignments and timelines. Progress toward Plan objectives is documented annually in the Year End Report.
