Life isn't one size. Your services shouldn't be, either. Tell us what is needed to age well.
LMTAAA is the Area Agency on Aging for Lewis, Mason and Thurston counties. We provide support for older adults, adults living with disabilities, and the people who care for them. LMTAAA receives funding through DSHS, ALTSA, The Older Americans Act, ACL and CMS.
The Area Plan is a four-year guide to building programs and services that reflect community needs. The plan focuses on important topics, like transportation, housing, social connection, and caregiving.
The Area Plan sets clear goals for LMTAAA and explains the steps our staff will take to reach them. Federal law requires Area Agencies on Aging create Area Plans every four years.
The Area Plan survey is how we hear from you, our clients, partners, and community members. Survey responses will help us learn what important topics to include in our 2027-2030 Area Plan. Taking part in the survey helps LMTAAA match services goals to real life.
Anyone who lives or works in Lewis, Mason, or Thurston County, or who helps a person living in one of these counties. You do not need to receive LMTAAA’s services to share your thoughts. If you care about your community, we want to hear from you!
Please only take the survey one time. To provide feedback in person, check this page for upcoming forum dates in your community.
The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.
Yes! Please share the survey with others. The more voices we hear, the better we can understand community needs and create programs that truly reflect them. Thank you for helping to spread the word!
Your privacy is important to us. LMTAAA’s survey is designed to protect your privacy.
No names or personal identifiers are required. Responses are collected through Survey Monkey. Survey Monkey encrypts all data and is ISO 27001 certified.
Only approved staff can see survey responses. Individual responses will never be shared publicly.
The 2027-2030 Area Plan will highlight key findings from the Area Plan Survey. We will post a draft of the Area Plan for public comment in June 2026. The final plan will be available on our website in 2027.
We share the report publicly so community members, local organizations, and partners can use the information to support their own efforts. Our goal is to make sure our programs reflect the needs and voices of the people we serve.
