MERCER COUNTY OFFICE ON AGING - ANNUAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT


Mercer County Executive Dan Benson and the Mercer County Office on Aging are asking adults aged sixty years or older, as well as their caregivers, to complete the county's 2024 Needs Assessment Survey.


The assessment plays a critical role in collecting responses from seniors to determine the needs in the aging community. Responses will be incorporated into the Office on Aging's annual area plan contract. Adults, caregivers, and others who work with the older adult population can complete the survey by visiting mercercounty.org.


Residents are encouraged to submit their responses by September 30, so that they may be considered in next year's area plan.


For more information, or to get a paper copy of the needs assessment, email adrc@mercercounty.org or call 609.989.6661.
