ABSTRACT

     The Davis County, Utah, Aging Network is not one large coordinated system, but is comprised of many social systems and components of systems which include both public entities, such as the Area Agency on Aging, and private companies, such as hospitals and nursing homes, which are only loosely associated as they attempt to reach the needs of the aging population. This paper will serve as a reference to those adults over age 60 that may not be familiar with the Network or how to access its components.
