2022 Community Conversations
For decades, Vintage has been collecting and analyzing data about the strengths and needs of older adults in Grand, Summit, Eagle, Pitkin, Jackson, and now, Routt Counties. See our data here. Understanding the challenges and opportunities of the region’s aging population is critical for elected officials, city leadership, service providers, non-profits, faith communities, and neighborhoods alike if we are to successfully create communities in which we can all age well. We share this data with lawmakers, decision-makers, partner agencies, businesses, academics, and others to help advocate for older adults and their family and informal caregivers.
We want to hear from you. Join us in our upcoming community engagement efforts!
Community Assessment Survey of Older Adults (CASOA)
Vintage, along with our community partners, will be undertaking a Strategic Planning effort in the coming months. Part of the planning process includes conducting the Community Assessment Survey of Older Adults (CASOA) in 2022. The CASOA provides a statistically valid survey of the strengths and needs of older adults in this region, as reported by older adults themselves. The ultimate goal of the assessment is to create empowered communities that support vibrant older adult populations. Older adults within Vintage’s six counties will be randomly selected to participate in the 2022 CASOA If you receive an invitation to participate, we encourage you to complete the survey so we can best serve our community. For those who weren’t randomly selected, there will also be an opportunity to respond to the survey online in early September. Questions? Email us at efisher@nwccog.org.
Community Conversations
Vintage and our partners are bringing residents and stakeholders together to discuss how to better support active and healthy aging for all in our communities. Join us for both virtual and in-person Community Conversations to share your thoughts on what works well for older adults and what service and resource gaps need to be addressed. Along with geographically and subpopulation-based conversations for older adults, we want to hear from informal and family caregivers of older adults.
