In conclusion <br />Through the Aging Strategic Plan, the needs of our aging community are closely aligned to the <br />County's mission of visionary leadership and good stewardship to provide services to <br />continually enhance quality of life. <br />The plan provides a glimpse at the drastic changes in our County's demographic landscape. In <br />less than two decades, the percentage of senior citizens in Cabarrus County will increase as <br />the percentage of school -aged children in the County decreases. As the County plans for <br />future programs, facilities and opportunities, it's important to consider the impact of our aging <br />population on our resources. <br />The Aging Strategic Plan has incorporated the voices of our entire community in a unique and <br />comprehensive public /private partnership that involves nearly every County department and <br />our local municipalities, faith -based groups, and non - profit and for - profit partners. A community <br />survey provided plan developers with a guide to understanding resident's current and future <br />needs. With the input of the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, plan developers will <br />build on these initial assessments and create an action plan that follows the vision of Cabarrus <br />County Government. As an active document, there is room for the plan to grow and change as <br />we progress over the five years of implementation. <br />Staff identified six priority areas to develop the Aging Strategic Plan core: education and <br />information, housing and home improvement, health and wellness, recreation and <br />entertainment, transportation and accessibility, and employment and income. These were <br />narrowed to two specific and attainable goals: develop partnerships to identify, evaluate and <br />collaborate on programs and services; and raise awareness of the programs and services <br />offered in Cabarrus County. <br />The plan also identifies specific tactics for each area of focus. Accomplishing these tactics at a <br />professional level will require support from the Board of Commissioners, operational support <br />and guidance from County leadership, continued partnerships and additional resources. <br />There are many options and decisions to consider as we define how to implement the Aging <br />Strategic Plan. However, there are steps that our County government can take to help limit the <br />physical, social and financial effects of aging experienced by Cabarrus County residents and <br />reduce future time, money and risk to the County. <br />The taskforce hopes the County, our community and our partners can stand behind this <br />assessment and move forward with the Aging Strategic Plan as a gateway to a more informed <br />public, improved access to services and housing, a healthier and more active aging population, <br />safer communities, and better prevention of abuse and exploitation of older adults by the year <br />2020. <br />3.17.14 DRAFT Cabarrus County Aging Strategic Plan 14 <br />Attachment number 1 <br />F -5 Page 105 <br />
