State Council to Address Aging Holding Pittsfield Listening Session| 08:21PM / Wednesday, July 26, 2017 | |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Gov. Charles Baker's Council to Address Aging in Massachusetts will hold listening sessions to hear ideas about how to make the commonwealth the most livable state for people of all ages.
The council will meet in Pittsfield on Wednesday, Aug. 2, from 10 to noon at Elder Services of Berkshire County, 877 South St., Suite 4E.
Members are specifically looking for input on issues related to:
-
What factors make your community a great place to grow older?
-
How can we support families that include one or more older adults?
-
How can we promote more human connectedness (reduce loneliness, isolation) in communities?
-
What are the top two issues or concerns that create barriers to people being able to age well in their communities?
-
How can we accelerate innovation to support and connect older adults?
-
How can we change public perceptions about aging?
The council is the state's first advisory council on aging and it will guide administration policy to support healthy aging. The public is invited to attend and to provide feedback to the council.
