Colorado is leading the way in improving and developing resources to support all of us as we age. The state’s first-ever Multi-Sector Plan on Aging, which serves as a blueprint for these comprehensive plans, is now available on the Multi-Sector Plan on Aging website, http://bit.ly/3Ien3WG.
This is the first year of the 10-year plan, and reports and initiatives will be developed and released annually.
The plan lays out five high-level goals:
• Support age-friendly, connected communities.
• Develop a health care system that supports older adults.
• Sustain and tailor long-term services and supports.
• Bolster Colorado’s economy.
• Prioritize economic security for older Coloradans.
“There’s no better time than now to join us. For the first time in our state’s history, more Coloradans are older than 60 than are younger than 18,” said Kristine Burrows, CDHS’s senior specialist on aging and the state’s expert on Colorado’s aging strategy. “We encourage everyone to read the plan, think of ways we can work together and what you can do in your own community to not only support older adults, but to also honor their contributions, resilience and vitality.”
