Age Friendly Lackawanna Needs Assessment

The Age-Friendly Assessment is designed to better understand the real, lived experiences of adults aged 60 and older who live in Lackawanna County. The primary purpose of this assessment is not to simply identify what new programs or resources are needed, but rather to gain a clearer picture of:

  • What programs, services, and resources currently exist in Lackawanna County.

  • How well older adults are aware of and utilizing those programs.

  • How effective those programs feel from the perspective of the people who use them.

  • Where gaps exist between available resources and actual use or accessibility.
