The sessions are part of a statewide outreach effort to encourage public input before state officials begin crafting the plan. When completed, it will provide a 10-year roadmap for improving the delivery of services to older Pennsylvanians and individuals with disabilities and helping them maintain independence and dignity as they age.
Among the topics being considered: Housing, transportation, social inclusion, outdoor spaces and buildings, health services and social services.
The listening sessions in Lancaster will be held over the next two weeks. Individuals planning to attend one of the sessions are asked to RSVP by calling the Lancaster County Office of Aging at (717) 299-7979.
