Board adopts Chatham County Master Aging Plan, seeks AARP age‑friendly designation
Summary
The board adopted the 2026–2031 Master Aging Plan, drafted after a four‑month survey (760 responses) and public sessions. The plan uses AARP’s eight domains of livability to guide county efforts for older residents and will be tracked via an online information‑hub page.
Chatham County adopted its first Master Aging Plan developed by county aging services, a steering committee and community participants. Aging Services Director Ashlyn Martin said the plan — informed by 760 survey responses and community listening sessions — sets goals across AARP’s eight domains of livability and will guide county and partner actions through 2031.
"The survey remained open for 4 months, and we received 760 responses," Martin said as staff summarized outreach and noted that the plan will be tracked on the county information hub. Commissioners discussed operationalizing the plan — including appointing ambassadors, tracking metrics and aligning board members who serve on external committees to lift aging priorities — and moved to adopt the plan and a letter supporting Chatham County’s designation as an AARP age‑friendly community. The motion carried by voice vote.
