Dementia State Plan

Update to Virginia’s Four-Year Plan For Aging Services (2009-2013)

Virginia's Four Year Plan for Aging Services is required under Section 2.2-703.1 of the Code of Virginia. The number of older adults in Virginia will reach 1.8 million by 2030 – more than double that population in 2000. In just two decades, almost one in every five Virginians will be age 65 or older, with the over 85 age group being the fastest growing segment of the population. Recognizing the coming “Age Wave,” the Virginia Department for the Aging has partnered with other health and human service leaders to update the Four-Year Plan for Aging Services - a comprehensive picture of where we are and where we need to go. We invite you to review the Biennial Progress Report on Virginia’s Four-Year Plan for Aging Services: Across the Continuum — Across the Commonwealth.

The 2008 Virginia General Assembly mandated a four-year planning process for aging services to effectively meet the needs and leverage the human resources of Virginia’s rapidly aging population. The primary goal of the first planning effort was to establish a structure and process to serve as a solid foundation from which future efforts to assess Virginia’s network of aging services can evolve. The initial (2009) four-year plan is available here: Virginia’s Four-Year Plan For Aging Services: Across the Continuum — Across the Commonwealth.

2011 Annual Report of the Commonwealth Council on Aging

The Commonwealth Council on Aging presented their 2011 Annual Report to the Governor and Virginia General Assembly, as detailed in this press release (.doc or pdf). The report highlights progress on the Council’s two signature initiatives, the “Best Practices Awards” and “Community Conversations on Aging,” as well as three new policy recommendations.

Virginia’s State Plan For Aging Services (2011-2015)

The Virginia Department for the Aging develops a State Plan for Aging Services every four years for the Administration on Aging. This plan serves as a valuable tool for planning and tracking all efforts on behalf of older adults and includes attachments such as the intrastate funding formula required by the Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended.

State Agencies' Reports on Addressing the Impact of Aging

2009: The Virginia General Assembly directed all state agencies to analyze the impact that the aging of the population will have on their ability to deliver services and to report to VDA on how they are responding to these changes (§2.2-5510). VDA submitted a report summarizing the progress made by the agencies to the Governor and the General Assembly on June 30, 2009. This report represents the second annual summary report prepared by VDA and is based on 81 individual agency reports. This annual analysis and reporting has been incorporated into the mandated strategic planning process for all agencies in recognition of the aging of Virginia’s population. Review VDA's Report Document No. 162.

2008: House Bill 2624 (2007 General Assembly) required state agencies to submit reports on their progress in addressing the impact of the aging population to the Virginia Department for the Aging (VDA) by November 15 of each year. VDA prepares a summary of these reports and submits it to the Governor and the General Assembly by June 30th. VDA's 2008 Report Document No. 191 and the 2008 agency reports are available on our HB2624 page.
