Inland Coalition on Aging

The Inland Coalition on Aging’s IE-MPA Advisory Committee is working to create a Master Plan for Aging for the Inland Empire. The plan will focus on housing, transportation, healthcare, Alzheimer's and all other Dementia, behavioral health & social support, and caregiving. The plan will serve older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers in San Bernardino and Riverside communities. Want to support our work?

We are proud to see the IE-MPA featured in the SCAN Foundation Toolkit for Developing Local Multisector Plans for Aging in Rural Areas! 🌟 The SCAN toolkit describes ten steps to develop a local MPA, with the goal of helping other rural communities develop their own MPAs. Our processes, templates, tools, and lessons learned have been compiled in this toolkit to aid other rural communities. The toolkit is relevant to rural leaders anywhere, including those located in plains, deserts, and mountain areas. ⛰️ ➡️Download your copy here: https://lnkd.in/gV_n9SXR #MPA #SCAN #toolkit #aging

Over the next 20 years, California’s older adult (65+) population will nearly double – those over 85 will be the fastest-growing demographic group. To address the unique challenges our older adult population will face, California has developed a statewide Master Plan for Aging (MPA). Locally, the Inland Coalition on Aging’s IE-MPA Advisory Committee is developing the Inland Empire MPA to support the unique needs of our community. We are proud to be part of the committee working on this important plan.   Be sure to follow along for updates on the Inland Empire MPA!
