Philadelphia Corporation for Aging to host Listening Sessions on Pennsylvania’s Master Plan for Older Adults
Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) will host Listening Sessions on the Pennsylvania Master Plan for Older Adults – a 10-year, state-led and stakeholder-driven strategic plan designed to help transform the infrastructure and coordination of services for older Pennsylvanians. The master plan will also reflect the needs and preferences of this population to live where they choose and access the supports they need to thrive and age in place.
