Master Plan for Aging

Orange County’s Master Plan for Aging

The Orange County Older Adults Needs Assessment report is now available. The report includes collected data from the Older Adults Needs Assessment surveys. In the first quarter of 2025, Orange County will share the key findings and recommendations with the OC Board of Supervisors and stakeholders based on the needs assessment.

Read Orange County’s press release HERE, or view the press release in PDF format HERE.

A recording of the Orange County Older Adults Needs Assessment Report presentation and slide deck is now available on YouTube HERE. 

During this process, we will continue developing our own Orange County Master Plan for Aging based on the data and findings from the Needs Assessment. We aim to have the Orange County Master Plan for Aging available by summer 2025.  

We value your feedback. All comments can be submitted HERE.

California’s Master Plan for Aging

In June 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order calling for the creation of a Master Plan for Aging (MPA) (Executive Order N-14-19). The Executive Order affirmed the priority of the health and well-being of older Californians and the need for policies that promote healthy aging and the development of a comprehensive framework of service delivery for supporting the aging population. The MPA, released in January 2021, outlines five goals.

• Goal One: Housing for All Stages & Ages 
• Goal Two: Health Reimagined
• Goal Three: Inclusion & Equity, Not Isolation
• Goal Four: Caregiving That Works
• Goal Five: Affording Aging
