Area Plan

Take 2027-2030 Survey

Life isn't one size. Your services shouldn't be, either. Tell us what is needed to age well.

Lewis-Mason-Thurston Area Agency on Aging is inviting residents and partners to share what helps, and what needs to change.

Every four years, LMTAAA asks the community for feedback to anchor our Area Plan for Lewis, Mason and Thurston counties. The plan is a guide to building programs and services, like meals, caregiving, and transportation, that reflect community needs. 

Our services support older adults, adults living with disability, and the friends and family who care for them.

Taking part in a survey, forum or hearing helps LMTAAA match services to real life.
