Arkansas wants to hear from you! If you’re an Arkansas resident age 60 or older, you have an opportunity to share your thoughts about the services and resources available to older adults in your community.
The Arkansas Department of Human Services is conducting the 2026 Community Survey to better understand the needs of older Arkansans. Your feedback will help guide future planning and decisions about programs and services that support older adults across the state.

Why Your Feedback Matters
Every community is different, and the needs of older adults can vary depending on where they live.
Your responses can help the state better understand the importance of services such as:
- Senior center activities and social programs
- Congregate and home-delivered meals
- Transportation services that help older adults stay connected to their communities
Whether you currently use these services or not, your perspective can help identify community needs and guide future decisions.
How to Participate
The survey is open to Arkansas residents age 60 and older. It is anonymous and takes less than five minutes to complete.
You can participate in two ways:
Online: Complete the survey using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Paper survey: Ask about a printed copy at a participating senior center or through a meal program.
If you need assistance completing the survey, a family member or caregiver may help you.
Make Your Voice Heard!
Your experiences and opinions matter. By taking a few minutes to complete the survey, you can help Arkansas better understand what older adults need to remain healthy, independent, and connected to their communities.
