The Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Colorado has scheduled what are billed as three community conversations in the Grand Valley to gather public comments on a four-year area plan on aging.

The conversations are set for:

10 a.m. to noon June 24 at the Mesa County Libraries central library at 443 N. Sixth St. in Grand Junction.

1:30 to 3:30 p.m. June 24 at the Fruita Community Center at 324 N. Coulson St.

10 a.m. to noon June 30 at the Mesa County Libraries branch in Palisade at 119 W. Third St.

The events are open to the public, including community leaders, service providers and older adults with recommendations about services that support aging and caregiving.

The Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Colorado plans, coordinates and connects the community to services and other resources that promote aging with dignity and independence for adults age 60 and over. 

The agency serves Mesa County as well as Garfield, Moffat and Rio Blanco counties.

The agency is funded under the Older Americans Act through the Administration on Community Living with additional funding through the Colorado State Unit on Aging.

For additional information about the community conversations or the agency, contact Heather Jones, director of the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Colorado at 248-2717 or Heather.Jones@mesacounty.us.
