One of the A1AA responsibilities is to collect, analyze and disseminate information about senior and caregiver needs. The Agency Planner is responsible for these duties and for ensuring that the needs are incorporated into the Area Plan for Senior Services.

The Planner uses a variety of methods to gather needs data, including surveys, focus groups, meetings held throughout the counties, program utilization information and public hearings. The Agency is required to conduct a senior citizen and caregiver survey every four years. Click here for the most recent survey results. This data is then used by the Agency to target resources, create new programs, encourage coordination amongst services, and to develop funding proposals. A1AA data is available to community groups upon request. Contact planner@a1aa.org
