The GW Center for Aging, Health & Humanities, in collaboration with the District of Columbia Office on Aging (DCOA) is conducting a Needs Assessment for older adults in DC.  The purpose of the survey is to identify the unmet needs of seniors in Washington DC to enable our team to:

·      make recommendations to DCOA and service providers to better meet your needs,

·      identify evidence-based, cost-effective practices in other communities, and

·      develop creative strategies within the wards.

As a senior and a member of the DC community, your input is valuable. With your participation, together we can create an Age-Friendly DC. If you care for someone over 60 years of age or older who cannot fill out this survey, please fill it out according to your perception of their needs.
