SHAPE the Future of Aging (SHAPE) is a strategic plan to make Fairfax County a better place to age, for older adults to live safely, independently, and with dignity. The Older Adults Committee works with the Fairfax Area Commission on Aging and the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging on development and oversight of SHAPE. SHAPE is an acronym that includes five areas of focus:

• Services for Older Adults and Family Caregivers
• Housing and Neighborhood Supports
• Access to Mobility Options
• Personal Well-Begin
• Economic Stability and Planning

The Silver Shield Campaign helps older adults avoid being scammed by sharing critical information about current scams.
