ADRC ANNUAL SURVEY

The Mercer County Office on Aging/Aging & Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) is the federally designated agency responsible for the assessment, development and funding distribution of programs/services for those 60 years of age or older in Mercer County. To comply with the Older Americans Act of 1965, an annual survey to determine the needs of the aging community is to be done and its results are to be incorporated into the agency’s Area Plan Contract. Mercer County residents, older adults and caregivers can complete this survey by responding to the Office on Aging’s Needs Assessment by Sept. 30 here. Responding to this survey will allow the Office of Aging to get a snapshot of the needs of the Mercer County aging community for its plan. Thank you for your interest and assistance in this effort! For more information or if you require a paper copy of the needs assessment, please visit the Mercer County Office on Aging, email adrc@mercercounty.org or call 609-989-6661.
