In an effort to address the growing needs of Illinois’ older adult population, state aging officials are organizing a series of roundtable discussions open to service providers, caregivers, older adults, and the general public.

Over the coming months, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) is working with regional Area Agencies on Aging to host a dozen roundtable discussions statewide to inform the development of Illinois’ 2026-2028 State Plan on Aging. This plan is a strategic framework to improve and promote the quality of life for older adults, their families, and caregivers.

Several in-person roundtable discussions are scheduled across the state, with locations including Du Bois, Mt. Vernon, Quincy, Springfield, Peoria, Dixon, and Maywood. Additional talks, including virtual events, will be announced later in the fall.

Participants are encouraged to RSVP. For upcoming dates, locations, and contact information, visit the Illinois Department on Aging’s website. The current State Plan on Aging completed in July 2021 runs through federal fiscal year 2025.
