Senior citizens, caregivers, and service providers in Larimer County have a new digital beacon to guide them through the complexities of aging resources with the updated Answers on Aging Resource Guide, released by the Larimer County Office on Aging (LCOA). Now available online in English and Spanish, the guide has made the leap to a Google Doc format, simplifying access across various devices and allowing for real-time updates.
The shift to a digital space means users no longer have to wait for yearly print updates; instead, they can tap into up-to-the-minute information whenever they need it. This transition not only saves time but also redirects funds previously spent on printing towards essential services for the local aging community. According to the Larimer County Office on Aging, "Real-time updates keep our community abreast of the latest information on aging resources, programs, and services."
Note, while the guide aims to be a comprehensive directory for older adults, those with disabilities, their caregivers, and professionals within the field, it is not all-encompassing. The LCOA clarifies that inclusion does not imply endorsement, nor does exclusion from the guide indicate disapproval. The digital format enables users to either download the entire guide or print specific sections as needed.
