Every four years, the Massachusetts State Plan on Aging is revised based on the needs of older adults (age 60+) and family caregivers. The Plan serves to shape the policy development and programs that the Executive Office of Elder Affairs will pursue to promote independence, empowerment, and well-being so those in need will have resources to thrive in every community.

The first step in creating the plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2026-2029 is to hear from older adults and caregivers about their top needs. To make your voice heard this year Springwell is hoping you will participate in our anonymous, secure survey located here:
