Planning Activities Area 4 performs two major planning activities on a regular 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 (click or scroll down for more information and links to these documents). Needs Assessment activities are often ongoing. In fact, the 2008-09 Needs Assessment was preceded by two noteworthy projects: The Dual Challenge (2009), our two-year study on the rapid aging of our local population, and a special report on Working Family Caregivers (2007). Work on the Area Plan is always 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. |

Raw survey data is also available upon request for every county except Placer for those who wish to conduct further analysis. Contact the A4AA Planner for details. |
