  Lieutenant Governor to Embark on "Face of Aging" Tour Throughout State web posted September 4, 2012 COLUMBIA – On Tuesday, September 4, 2012, Lieutenant Governor Glenn McConnell will begin a series of visits to Aging facilities throughout South Carolina to assess existing Aging services and gather suggestions on improvements from local seniors, caregivers, and residents. Each stop is scheduled to include a forum for public input as well as visits to area nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and senior centers. “Finding ways to make meaningful improvements to current Aging services in South Carolina is my top priority, and I don’t understand how substantive change can be made without discussing some of these issues face-to-face,” said Lieutenant Governor McConnell. “I want the opportunity to interact with communities across our state, to hear ideas from seniors, caregivers, service providers, and community leaders, and to address any questions they may have.” While every facility cannot be visited by the year’s end, the goal of the Lieutenant Governor and the Office on Aging is to establish a snapshot of existing programs and services in each county so that strategies may be developed and improvements can be implemented in order to proactively prepare for the upcoming increase in South Carolina’s senior population, which is projected to more than double in the next 20 years. A general schedule of dates and counties can be found below.
