Senior Connections to Hold Community Discussions 

About Current and Future Services for Seniors and Caregivers 

 

RICHMOND, VA.  March 8 - This month, Senior Connections, The Capital
Area Agency on Aging will hold six community discussions about services
the Agency provides to older adults and caregivers. The Agency wants to
learn what new services the community would like to see implemented. In
addition to measuring our visibility in the community, we are looking
for insights about the priorities and future directions for Senior
Connections and partner groups. The Agency is in the process of
preparing a new four-year plan that will be submitted to the Virginia
Department for the Aging. Input from the community will be included in
the plan. The public's input is particularly needed about areas of
