The 2027-2030 Area Plan outlines a strategic framework to support older adults, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers in Planning and Service Area 11, ensuring they live with dignity, independence, and meaningful connection. The plan prioritizes four key areas: strengthening outreach and service delivery for individuals with the greatest economic and social need; promoting healthy aging through Older Americans Act core programs; expanding access to home and community-based services; and enhancing supportive services for family caregivers. These efforts aim to improve access, reduce disparities, and promote independence and well-being.

The 2020-2023 Area Plan on Aging & Long Term Care for Planning and Service Area #11 outlines the strategic priorities and objectives for Aging & Long Term Care of Eastern Washington (ALTCEW). The plan focuses on healthy aging by improving access to affordable health, prevention, and wellness services. It addresses mental health and aging by enhancing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral well-being. The plan aims to improve community-based supports by increasing access to information and assistance, and ensures access to planned and coordinated care through Medicaid-supported services. Additionally, the plan emphasizes collaboration with Native American tribes and tribal organizations to ensure quality and comprehensive service delivery.
