The Union County Board of County Commissioners and the Union County Department of Human Services, Division on Aging, invite Union County seniors, caregivers and community members to attend the Division’s Annual Public Meeting on Tuesday, September 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Plainfield Senior Center, located at 400 East Front Street in Plainfield.
The meeting will give older adults and caregivers an opportunity to speak directly with the Division on Aging about their needs, concerns and experiences. The feedback gathered will help the Division identify gaps in services and guide future planning to better meet the needs of Union County’s growing senior population.
“The best way to understand the needs of our older residents and their caregivers is to hear directly from them,” said Union County Commissioner Chairman Joseph C. Bodek. “This meeting gives members of our community a meaningful opportunity to share what they are experiencing and help us strengthen the programs and services they rely on.”
Attendees will also learn more about the programs, services and resources available through the Division on Aging and will have an opportunity to ask questions. The meeting is intended to be an open conversation focused on ensuring that the voices of Union County seniors and caregivers remain central to the Division’s work.
“Community feedback plays an important role in how we plan for the future,” said Union County Commissioner Stanley J. Neron, Liaison to the Human Services Advisory Council. “We encourage seniors and caregivers to join us, share their perspectives and help us better understand where additional support may be needed.”
All Union County seniors and caregivers are encouraged to attend, whether they currently receive services through the Division on Aging or would simply like to learn more and make their voices heard.
