Outreach


Community Listening Sessions Adobe Acrobat Reader Symbol – Over the period of May 12, 2008 to July 22, 2008, the Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services in collaboration with the State Committee on Aging and the Institute on Disability at UNH, conducted seventeen community listening sessions throughout the State to hear what seniors and local service providers thought about the transformation efforts taking place in the long term care services system. The listening sessions were held as part of the Systems Transformation Grant work plan as a means of public outreach and comment. BEAS also plans to use the findings from these sessions as a documentation of need for the upcoming State Plan on Aging.
