DAIL Community Forum

The Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL), in partnership with BerryDunn, is excited to be engaging with providers, participants, and other community stakeholders to hear your input related to aging and disability services and needs.

Project Details:
The Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) has engaged BerryDunn, an independent consulting firm, to use a multi-method approach to complete a statewide needs assessment. The results of BerryDunn’s review will assist in the development of Kentucky’s State Plan on Aging, a program requirement that is submitted to the Administration for Community Living (ACL). This plan provides goals and objectives related to assisting older Kentuckians, their families, and caregivers. It is the blueprint for coordination and advocacy activities the Commonwealth of Kentucky will undertake to meet the needs of older adults and support DAIL’s mission statement: “to promote the welfare, dignity, and independence of older adults, individuals with physical disabilities and adults in need of a guardian.”  
 
Why is this important?
BerryDunn has scheduled community forums to gather information from key stakeholders. The purpose of these community forums are to identify and prioritize the service needs for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, including an evaluation of the current programs provided by DAIL. The community forums are scheduled for two hours and will give you the opportunity to share your opinions regarding current programs provided by DAIL and recommendations for future improvements. Your participation is critical to help ensure the success of this project.
