CONCORD, NH — The federal Health and Human Services Department has approved New Hampshire’s State Plan on Aging.
The four-year plan, coordinated through the Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services, is committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive statewide system of long-term services while supporting person-centered care.
“New Hampshire’s State Plan on Aging will provide us with an opportunity to align and strengthen the work of BEAS within the service delivery system across the state, and transform how we collaborate with statewide partners to accomplish our goals,” said Bureau Chief Wendi Aultman. “This plan will serve as a roadmap to move forward in our efforts and strategies to further advance the system of care for healthy aging in New Hampshire.”
The number of older adults is expected to increase rapidly in the next two decades. The plan will support core foundation programs of the Older Americans Act to achieve several outcomes, including increasing access and availability to person-centered care to reduce risk of abuse, reducing loneliness and advancing age-friendly communities.
