Jayhawk Area Agency's Executive Summary on Needs Assesment Survey
Today's retirees live longer, healthier, active lives. With minimal outside assistance, seniors can stay independent and active even as age begins to take its toll. As the baby boomer generation enters retirement, it is imperative that our communities prepare for the increase in our senior population. Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging is looking to ensure that options continue to be available for our aging citizens. Jayhawk area Agency on Aging gathered input from our community members to assess the future needs in Douglas, Jefferson and Shawnee counties. To view the summary of the Needs Assesment Survey
