WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Council on Aging will present its draft 2027-2030 Strategic Area Plan at a public hearing, 1-2:30pm, May 18, 2026.
As the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) serving Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren counties, Council on Aging (COA) is charged with helping communities and individuals to plan and prepare for their long-term care needs. The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965, which established the framework for the nation’s network of AAAs, requires each AAA to prepare a Strategic Area Plan to foster the development of a comprehensive and coordinated service system to meet the needs of older persons in its region.
Over the past year, Council on Aging worked with various partners to complete a comprehensive community needs assessment. The needs assessment included stakeholder interviews, focus groups and an anonymous survey. The purpose of the needs assessment was to gather information and opinions from people in COA’s service area to help inform the organization’s strategic priorities for the next four years. COA is required to submit findings from the needs assessment as part of its Strategic Area Plan to the Ohio Department of Aging by May 22, 2026 but must first hold a public hearing to collect public input on its draft plan.
