The Ad Hoc Aging in Place Committee consists of seven members appointed by the City Commission. A majority of the members shall be residents of Birmingham and qualified voters. When available, preferred qualifications/areas of professional expertise and experience include: gerontologist, senior health or nutrition, adult education, elder law, representative of Birmingham NEXT, and intergenerational specialist. Staff from the Managers Office will serve as ex-officio member(s) of the committee.
The function of the Ad Hoc Aging in Place Committee (AIP) is to study current demographic trends, evaluate the needs of the City’s aging population, and to prepare a City-wide action plan outlining the vision and goals to improve the health, safety and welfare of senior citizens and encourage residents to age comfortably in Birmingham.
Aging in Place Community Survey Share your thoughts on how to help Birmingham senior citizens age in place in the community safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level. Please take our Aging in Place community survey, available online at engage.bhamgov.org/aginginplace and in print form at www.bhamgov.org/aginginplacesurvey. The survey will be included with an upcoming water bill. Printed copies are also available at City Hall, the Baldwin Public Library, the Birmingham Museum and NEXT. Surveys can be returned to all of these locations. Birmingham’s Aging in Place Committee will use your input to develop a citywide Aging in Place plan.
