Westminster, MD, Tuesday, July 1, 2025 – The Carroll County Bureau of Aging & Disabilities (BOAD) is conducting a survey to guide the creation of the Bureau’s age-friendly strategy. BOAD, as a member of AARP’s network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, is required to assess the local community in different areas, including age-friendliness, gaps in services, defining strategies for improvement, and implementing those strategies over time.

As Carroll County progresses toward becoming more age-friendly, residents are asked to weigh in! The Age-Friendly Carroll County Community Needs Survey will be used to determine the most pressing priorities in the community, and gauge residents’ awareness of existing age-friendly programs.  The overall objective is to identify the current needs of residents and to assist in making informed decisions on resources, programs and community-wide needs.

The survey may be completed online in English or Spanish via mobile phone, tablet, or computer, and only takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.  

Carroll County residents are encouraged to participate in the survey until September 15, 2025. The survey may be completed by clicking this link or scanning the QR code below.  Share your thoughts today!
