A renaissance is underway in Baltimore County - and county government is helping to lead the way. As we undertake this renaissance, we all need to think back, look forward and act now.
When we think back, we can appreciate how today's seniors created and nurtured so much of what makes Baltimore County a great place to live. They developed secure neighborhoods, excellent schools and a strong economy with good jobs. They created communities in which people want to stay while they raise families and grow older.
Our renaissance is built on yesterday's successes, but to continue it we must look forward. As we do so, we see that new solutions will be needed to meet the changing needs of the county's population. For example, the number of senior adults in Baltimore County is growing at a very rapid rate. To offer the services they will require, we need to develop new tools and resources that will allow us to serve our seniors and their families every day.
We must act now to bring the future we want into reality. TakingCareOfMomAndDad.net is an example of how the county is taking action now. It will ensure that families are prepared with information about services for seniors - anytime, anywhere - simply by clicking a mouse. It is one way we can help the people who built this county look forward to solutions to the problems they may face today or tomorrow. It can help each of us act now when our families need critical information to ensure that our loved ones receive the care they deserve.
Join the renaissance; use this website to act now to
help an older family member or friend find solutions.
Sincerely,
Jim Smith
Baltimore County Executive
