The Longevity Ready Maryland (LRM) plan is Maryland's first comprehensive, 10-year multisector plan designed to coordinate services and policies to support the state's growing population of older adults. It was initiated by an Executive Order signed by Governor Wes Moore in early 2024.
The plan is a collaborative, long-term effort that aims to:
Consolidate resources and coordinate efforts across government agencies, businesses, and communities.
Transform systems of care to more sustainably accommodate the increasing number of older Marylanders.
Ensure all Marylanders can live lives that are healthy, financially secure, socially connected, and purposeful.
The LRM plan is structured around four main "Epic Goals":
Build a Longevity Ecosystem: Create supportive and inclusive communities for all ages and abilities and build collective capacity at the local level.
Promote Economic Opportunity: Support a multigenerational workforce with opportunities for all ages and abilities while advancing Maryland's economic competitiveness.
Prepare Marylanders to Afford Longevity: Improve economic security and affordability for the "100-year lifespan" through affordable housing, health care, financial literacy, and long-term support services.
Optimize Health, Wellness, and Mobility: Invest in programs that support healthier, more purposeful, and active lifestyles so Marylanders can enjoy longevity and reduce dependency.
The plan includes specific actions like launching a new statewide dementia navigation program, expanding access to home- and community-based services, and modernizing the state's information and referral network.
Meet Bud, a 10-year-old neutered male boxer mix! Bud was brought to Howard County animal shelter after being abandoned by his owner. Bud is a very good boy who is looking for his forever home. He's become sweet and calm in his old age and walks very well on a leash. He knows "sit" and "paw" and takes the treat gently from your hand. Bud is looking for a nice soft place to call his home and live out his golden years. He is sad being at the sanctuary and deserves the best!
He also does well around other dogs.
If you are interested in meeting Bud, please visit our website and submit an adoption application today!
