VANCOUVER – The Commission on Aging’s charge is to provide leadership in addressing the special needs of the aging population and to manage and assist with the implementation of the county’s Aging Readiness Plan. This month, the Commission focuses on Chapters 2 (Healthy Communities) and 3 (Housing) of the Aging Readiness Plan. The Commission welcomes the Area Agency on Aging and Disabilities and certified “aging in place” specialists to discuss available services and housing modifications that will enable older adults to age in place.
