Community conversations across Weld County will help guide aging services through 2031.
Weld County residents are invited to participate in a series of Community Conversations this August and September to help shape the future of programs and services for older adults.
Hosted by the Weld County Area Agency on Aging (AAA), the meetings will gather feedback on priorities including transportation, nutrition, caregiver support, in-home assistance, wellness programs, and other resources that help older adults remain healthy and independent.
“Good planning starts with listening,” said Weld County Commissioner Chair Scott James. “These conversations give people a chance to share their ideas for how we can keep Weld County a great place to live as we age.”
The community feedback will be used to develop the AAA’s 2027–2031 Area Plan, which serves as the agency’s roadmap for supporting older adults throughout Weld County.
Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend, including older adults, caregivers, family members, neighbors, and anyone interested in improving services for aging residents.
“AAA is all about helping older adults stay healthy, independent, and connected in their homes and communities,” said Weld County Commissioner Perry Buck. “Hearing directly from residents is how we ensure these services stay strong for them and future generations.”
