As Ohio's older adult population continues to grow, Cuyahoga County is investing in a new online resource hub designed to make it easier for older adults, family caregivers, and community organizations to find local services. Approved by County Council in June, the Senior Resources Access Hub will serve as a centralized guide to transportation, health care, housing, benefits assistance, employment, digital literacy, and other aging resources. County officials also plan to include educational information on topics such as healthy aging, memory concerns, driving safety, stroke recognition, and social connection. Limited printed guides will also be distributed to senior centers and nursing homes.
The initiative reflects a broader effort to simplify access to aging services as demand continues to increase across Ohio. It also complements the recently launched Ohio Aging Compass, the state's online resource designed to help older Ohioans and caregivers connect with local aging services and supports. As communities continue to develop new tools to improve service navigation, centralized resource hubs can help older adults more easily access the programs available to them.
