CONTENTS

Dear Friends, Irvine Senior Services is proud to present the Strategic Plan for Older Adult Services 2023 through 2028 (Plan). The City partnered with Charitable Ventures, a regional social impact consulting firm, to carry out the 2023 strategic planning process. Public input was gath- ered through a community survey, eight community forums, two provider forums, and planning sessions with City staff and the Irvine Senior Citizens Council. The survey and events were a means to explore needs, assets, and opportunities in five critical areas of inter- est to older adults: Healthy Living, Social Well-Being and Addressing Isolation, Transportation, Housing and Emergency Preparation, and Marketing and Communication. The Plan identifies goals and strategies which will guide the implementation of programming and services to meet the diverse and changing needs of older adults in Irvine. For more information and to download a copy, visit cityofirvine.org/senior-services/ strategic-plan-older-adult-services . The strategies outlined in the Plan could not be achieved without the support of our incredible volunteer base. April is National Volunteer Month, and we take this opportunity to thank the more than 430 individuals who share their time and talents to serve older adults in Irvine. In 2023, our volunteers contributed more than 29,000 hours in various areas, such as, preparing and serving meals in the Rose Garden Café, delivering meals to homebound seniors, and teaching interactive classes both virtually and in-person. Please join us in celebrating National Volunteer Month by expressing your gratitude for their continued service. All my best, Sandra L. Salcedo Community Services Manager
