Senior Connection Center, your local Area Agency on Aging and the Aging & Disability Resource Center serving Highlands, Hardee, Polk, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties, will be conducting public hearings for the 2020 - 2022 Area Plan. The goal of these public hearings is to hold a community conversation with seniors, caregivers and other interested individuals about the needs of older adults and the issues that impact you and your neighbors. This meeting is free and open to the public. Reservations are greatly appreciated. RSVP by calling Paula at 813-676-5583 or email Paula.Nelson@sccmail.org. If you are unable to attend and would like to submit comments, please visit www.SeniorConnectionCenter.org to complete an online survey. Survey results and comments will be used in part for Senior Connection Center’s planning process and funding decisions by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs. For 2020, Senior Connection Center proposes to continue with the direct provision of Intake and Evidence-Based Health and Wellness services, funded through the Older Americans Act for Highlands, Hardee, Polk, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties.
