Tyler, Director, Orange County <br />Department on Aging and MAP Project <br />Manager, 968-2071 <br />Heather Altman, Chair, Adv. Board on Aging <br />PURPOSE: To receive the Orange County Master Aging Plan Annual Progress Report for <br />2010 and accept the recommendations for 2011. <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 also recommended that MAP reports be submitted <br />to town elected officials in Orange County. <br />On February 8, 2011, the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging approved the submission of <br />the attached Annual MAP Report for 2010. <br />The entire 2007-11 MAP can be accessed at www.co.orange.nc.us/aging/MasterAgingPlan.asp. <br />Note: The 2012-16 MAP work has begun. Asub-committee of the Advisory Board on Aging <br />was formed to review the MAP format and a redesign is in progress. The 2012-16 MAP project <br />was submitted as a Capstone Project proposal to the UNC School of Public Health's Health <br />
