Welcome to Virginia's Age Wave Preparedness Resource Center

We're facing unprecedented challenges from the enormous aging population wave that is beginning to roll through Virginia. Now is the time for communities and businesses to prepare -- and the Older Dominion Partnership wants to give you the tools to do so.

This resource center will identify leading performance indicators of individual, business, and community-level preparedness, point to data and information on each, and start sharing preparedness information and best practices. We'll begin by focusing on Metro Richmond, then use that model to add communities across Virginia. We invite you to read more below and join us as we meet the challenges and opportunites of the age wave. Read more »

Virginia's Community Based Age Wave Plans

The following are direct links to community-based age wave preparedness plans. These plans extend beyond the Commonwealth's four-year Plan -- the QAA required for federal funding. They were all inspired by and crafted by stakeholders in each locality.

The Richmond region has formerly started its age wave preparedness planning process. Contact Kiersten Ware, Director, Older Adults Initiative, United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg at 804.775.6436 for more information on this initiative.
