County survey
The Kitsap County Division of Aging and Long-Term Care is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Kitsap, responsible for the development of an Area Plan that identifies local services for older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers. The Aging Area Plan, currently being developed, is a four-year plan that identifies gaps in services and describes demographic trends, challenges, and opportunities. The plan also addresses how the Area Agency on Aging will administer programs and allocate discretionary funding to support aging in place, as well as informal caregivers, a news release says.
Kitsap County residents are invited to share their ideas in a survey that will be used in the development of the 2027-2030 Area Plan. Take the survey at kcowa.us/AgingSurvey
The survey deadline is March 31.
To receive a paper survey by mail, call the Aging & Long-Term Care office at 360-337-5700. To request translation assistance, call 360-337-5700 or email Tawnya Weintraub at tweintra@kitsap.gov.
