The Four-Year Area Plan

Every four years the Administration on Aging (AoA) which oversees the Older Americans Act at the national level requires that each state and territory submit a plan for how they will use the Older Americans Act funds and how they will work on the initiatives set forth by the AoA. In turn each individual Area Agency on Aging in the state must also submit a plan to the State Unit on Aging so that they can incorporate these plans into the state plan. The Larimer County Office on Aging submitted their four year plan in December of 2006 and it has been approved by the State Unit on Aging.

The Four-Year Area Plan is posted here so that interested parties can see what the Office on Aging sees as the challenges and opportunities for our county in the next four years and beyond. Like all plans, it is subject to change, particularly in the areas driven by funding. If you have questions regarding the plan please feel free to contact Margaret Long, Program Manager, at the Office on Aging or (970) 498-7755.

Mission Statement -The Larimer County Office on Aging will assist older adults, age 60 and over, in maintaining health, dignity, independence, and quality of life, by advocating, planning, coordinating, and delivering services and programs, with emphasis on meeting the needs of those who are socially and/or economically disadvantaged.
