The 2024 Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults is now open to all residents aged 60 and older.

Initially available only to randomly selected participants, this comprehensive survey became accessible to the entire community Wednesday, according to a news release from Thrive Alliance.

All Indiana residents aged 60 or older are encouraged to participate by visiting polco.us/indiana24.

This survey is available online in English, Spanish, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Vietnamese, Hindi and Tagalog.

This survey is conducted by the state in partnership with Agencies on Aging across the state and Polco, a research firm and civic engagement organization. The questionnaire, developed by the National Research Center at Polco, gathers insights from seniors about their experiences with local employment and volunteer opportunities, housing, accessibility, mobility, and physical and mental health.

Survey results will help identify the greatest challenges and needs for older adults across the state. This public input will support the development of related policies, initiatives, and community programs.

Participants’ responses are confidential and personal information is securely stored
