Through a community-driven research and analysis process, guided by the Windham Regional Commission, the Windham Aging report provides an overview of critical data sets and public reports to better understand trends related to aging within southeastern Vermont.

The report includes demographic trends in housing, income, and transportation, preventive health trends for older adults, healthcare workforce trends, and long-term care facility trends.

From the Report…

In many respects Vermont is different. We are more rural and independent by nature, and we often find solutions where other areas might become mired in the problems. There is a new and predictable momentum of aging needs and numbers weighing down the future of Windham County, Vermont. We are almost 60 years old on average, and aging in greater numbers. As we look ahead, there is a need to understand what services and activities are occurring now and consider what the future needs of an aging population look like. Every one of us is moving into this rapidly expanding older group. There are only two mysteries – what type of aging process you will experience, and whether the community will have the resources in place for you to live the life you imagined.
