Comprehensive Aging Survey

The Comprehensive Aging Survey is a statewide effort to better understand the experiences, needs and priorities of adults age 60 and older. The survey will help shape the future of aging services and supports across the state.

Who is conducting the survey?

The Minnesota Board on Aging, Age-Friendly Minnesota and DHS Aging and Adult Services Division developed the survey in partnership with Minnesota’s Area Agencies on Aging, MMB Long-Range Planning and the Center for Healthy Aging and Innovation at the University of Minnesota.

We hired Vital Research, a nationally recognized, community-driven research and evaluation company, to conduct the survey.

Why should I participate?

Your voice will directly shape the future of aging services in Minnesota. Someday, in the future, you, a friend or family member might need some help with basic tasks. It’s important to share what supports and services you might want and how you’d like to receive them so they’re designed correctly.

Will my privacy be respected?

Yes. The survey won’t ask for financial information, Social Security numbers or other sensitive personal information, such as your name or birthdate.
