The final report on New York's first-ever Master Plan for Aging has been released.
New York has the fourth-largest population of older adults in the U.S., with 3.2 million individuals – about 16 percent of the population – over age 65. The state’s population of those over 60 is projected to grow to 5.3 million by 2030. In less than 5 years older adults are expected to make up 25 to 30 percent of the population in most New York counties. The Master Plan for Aging, led by the Health Department and Office for the Aging, contains more than 100 proposals all with the aim of helping individuals age with dignity and independence.
