The City of Fishers’ new Aging & Wellness Task Force is evaluating exploring new programming, resources, and potential infrastructure for our senior population.  

As part of this effort, we’re asking for community input through a short survey open now through May 16. Whether you’re a senior, a caregiver, or simply interested in shaping the future of services for older adults in Fishers, we want to hear from you. Your voice will help guide future recommendations to support healthy aging in our community.

ABOUT THE TASK FORCE:

The City of Fishers has launched an Aging & Wellness Task Force to evaluate existing services available for seniors within Fishers and make recommendations for new programming and initiatives, including a potential facility dedicated to senior services.

The task force is co-chaired by Fishers City Councilman Bill Stuart and local physician and Hamilton Southeastern Board of Trustees member Dr. Juanita Albright and includes residents and care providers. As part of the evaluation phase, the task force has created a community survey and host focus groups to identify gaps within existing offerings.

This new task force is part of the City’s Culture of Health initiative which strives to foster a culture of wellness and healthy living for all residents. The potential for a senior-focused facility was brought up during the planning phase for the new Fishers Community Center, set to open this fall.

The task force kicked off in March 2025 with the aim to have a plan for City staff by mid-summer.
