This document was developed in response to the currently increasing older adult population in Colorado. The Colorado Aging Framework (CAF) incorporates the findings of the 16 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) as they assess the needs of older adults in their communities. It includes information from other states and national organizations, such as the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and others, regarding the most up-to-date thinking on issues affecting older adults (e.g., housing, health care, employment, care giving, etc.). It captures what state agencies in Colorado are doing, right now, to respond to the increasing population of older adults.
