Three-year plan on Aging

The Aging and Disability Resource Center of the North Bayfield County office is in the process of developing the three-year County Plan on Aging, which serves as a platform to design, create, improve or expand programs and services for older adults and adults with disabilities within Bayfield County. It is a requirement to get receive the Federal funding through the Older American Act, but it is also an opportunity to hear what people have to say so we can make sure we are moving in the right direction. Please share your ideas and concerns by clicking on the link below and filling out the brief survey.

Take the survey!

A little known, but very important fact regarding Bayfield County is that number of people over age 60 is projected to exceed 40% by 2020. To gain a bit of perspective, the current percentage of people over 65 years of age in Florida is just over 17%. This trend is something that will play a role in what and how services are offered, not only for older adults, but the community at large.
