Southern Area Agency on Aging outlines services, local demographics
Summary
Southern Area Agency on Aging representatives briefed the board on programs for older adults and noted the county has about 6,335 residents aged 60 and older, representing nearly 36% of the county population; county representatives on the agency's board will leave at the end of June.
Representatives of the Southern Area Agency on Aging updated the Board of Supervisors on services for older adults and local demographic data. Richard Cox, who said this would be his last duty as the county’s representative to the agency board, introduced Parisa Fontaine, the agency director, and Charlie Bowman, past board president.
Fontaine summarized core programs—meals on wheels, congregate meals, in‑home care, insurance counseling and a long‑term care ombudsman program—and emphasized transportation and home‑repair services. She told the board that, based on state census data provided to agencies, "there are 6,335 older adults in Patrick County who are at the age of 60 or older," and that the 60+ group represents approximately 36% of the county population. Cox noted board service details and the agency’s budgetary scale for the coming year.
The agency provided informational packets to the board and asked supervisors to consider appointments as current representatives leave the board at the end of June.
