Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults (CASOA)

POLCO 3

Washington County Office for Aging seeks your feedback. We are partnering with the New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) on NYSOFA’s Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults.

If you are 60+, please respond today to help inform future state policies. The survey is anonymous and only takes 10 to 15 minutes of your time. 

 Survey results will help inform state priorities for older adults as NYSOFA prepares its four-year plan to the federal government – a document which guides service delivery and policy development for aging services programs that support New York’s 4.6 million older adults.

Please take the survey here: https://polco.us/ny23op.

The survey will close on March 30, 2023
