US approves state aging plan
Gov. Tom Corbett has announced federal approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Aging’s 2012-2016 State Plan on Aging. The plan sets goals for the next four years on how the state responds to the needs of older Pennsylvanians.
The State Plan on Aging is required by both state and federal governments. Every four years, the Pennsylvania Department of Aging develops a plan to establish a strategic course and to fulfill the direction established by the Older Americans Act.
The four goals outlined in the 2012-2016 plan are:
* Improve access to care for older individuals at the right time, in the right setting, and at the right intensity;
* Empower older individuals to remain in the setting of their choice;
* Direct older individuals to the support systems they need to maximize their health and well-being; and
* Revitalize and redesign the aging services network to enhance the lives of older individuals.
The 52 Area Agencies on Aging also developed four year plans that complement the state plan and focus on the needs of older Pennsylvanians in local communities.
