Health and support services are vital to maintaining well-being and independence. Age-Friendly communities recognize that good mental and physical health contribute to quality of life. Community-based health and social services should aim to meet changing needs that come with aging, including caregiver assistance so that people can be supported throughout their lives as fully as possible.
The Age-Friendly Sarasota County Action Plan includes the goals, objectives, and strategies for the "Community Support and Health Services" domain during the plan's implementation phase (2022–2025).
County officials continue to monitor the status of COVID-19 and follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Florida Department of Health.
