If you did not weigh in on the county’s aging plan via survey, you can do it in person beginning next month. The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Door County will host a series of discussion groups at its meal sites in Baileys Harbor, Brussels, Washington Island, Liberty Grove, and Sturgeon Bay. By hosting a survey earlier this month and the discussion groups, the hope is they can educate the community about the county’s aging plan and identify areas for improvement. The last time the ADRC conducted this survey in 2021, it identified several goals to institute, such as expanding programming at its meal sites, expanding its Meals on Wheels program, addressing the caregiver and advocate shortages, and promoting education opportunities for fall protection. ADRC Director Jenny Fitzgerald says the feedback they receive during the process is important.
The state requires the counties’ ADRCs to complete a strategic plan that serves as a platform to create, improve, and expand services in the communities they serve. You can find the full schedule of discussion groups listed below.
The meetings will take place at the following locations and times below, each of the locations are wheelchair accessible for those who need additional accommodations.
