The Flathead County Agency on Aging (FCAA), serving as the Area Agency on Aging for Area IX, invites older adults, caregivers, service providers, community organizations, and interested residents to review and comment on the proposed Area Plan on Aging for 2027–2031. The Area Plan serves as a roadmap for identifying community needs, establishing priorities, and guiding services that help older adults maintain their independence, dignity, health, and quality of life while remaining in their homes and communities. The Older Americans Act (OAA) emphasizes public participation in the development of Area Plans to ensure that programs and services reflect the needs and priorities of older adults and their caregivers. Public input helps identify unmet needs, strengthen community partnerships and guide the effective use of limited resources.
Public comment will be accepted from November 5th-December 5th, 2026. All comments received will be reviewed during the public comment period and considered before the plan is finalized. Thank you for your time, input, and continued support of older adults in Flathead County.
