Master Plan for Aging General Public Survey – Drawing the Blueprint

New York State is developing a Master Plan for Aging (MPA) that will set forth a blueprint of strategies to ensure that all New Yorkers can live fulfilling lives, in good health, with freedom, dignity, and independence, regardless of age. This survey seeks to understand the living conditions, care and service needs, and the areas of focus New Yorkers would like to see addressed in the MPA.  

The answers received from this survey will help to inform recommended strategies, policies, and new or improved programs for inclusion in the MPA. This survey provides the opportunity for you to tell us how the MPA can best serve you and your family.

Please complete the survey as soon as possible but no later than February 29, 2024. You may complete this survey on behalf of someone else with their participation. Answers submitted are anonymous.

For more information on the MPA, please visit www.ny.gov/mpa. Please email MPA@health.ny.gov with any questions about the survey.
