The goal of the Dakota County Communities for a Lifetime initiative is to create a network of vital, accessible communities that address the needs and builds on the assets of an aging population. Residents, local businesses, cities, service providers, faith communities, and county staff come together to work to:
- Improve the ability of residents to effectively plan for their financial futures.
- Improve residents’ overall health to protect their independence.
- Provide adequate housing for the lifecycle needs of residents.
- Promote accessible and quality services that support older adults and caregivers in home and community settings.
- Provide needed transportation options to help keep residents mobile and independent.
- Provide meaningful opportunities for older adults to contribute to their communities.
