Passmore, Aging Director and <br />MAP Project Manager, 245-2009 <br />Steve Lackey, Chair, Adv. Board on Aging <br />PURPOSE: To provide the Board of County Commissioners with the Orange County Master <br />Aging Plan Annual Progress Report for 2009 and priorities for 2010. <br />BACKGROUND: On May 15, 2007 the Board of County Commissioners adopted the five year <br />Master Aging Plan (MAP) covering the period 2007 through 2011. The MAP's overarching new <br />initiative was "Building Aging-Friendly Communities in Orange". The plan focused on three <br />functional population groups: the Well/Fit Older Adult, the Disabled /Moderately Impaired Older <br />Adult and the Severely Impaired /Institutionalized Older Adult. The MAP also identified and <br />addressed four broad issues: information/access, housing, transportation and transitional care <br />in arriving at the final goals, objectives and strategies. <br />The adopted Master Aging Plan required the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging to <br />monitor the progress of the Plan with the Department on Aging and submit annual update <br />reports to the Board of County Commissioners. The reports would describe MAP <br />accomplishments and would recommend priority changes (MAP Goal I: <br />Planning/Administration, Objective 1). It was recommended that MAP reports be submitted to <br />town elected officials in Orange County and the Triangle United Way. <br />On February 9, 2010, the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging approved the submission of <br />the attached Annual MAP Report for 2009. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the Master Aging <br />Plan Annual Report for 2009 and approve the priorities for 2010. <br />
