Case Study: Frederick County plans for future senior center needs with MGT

Frederick County builds a 10- to 15-year senior center roadmap with MGT

Frederick County faced the challenge of preparing its senior center network for a rapidly growing older adult population. Their existing facilities, many in repurposed buildings, had limitations in space, accessibility, and capacity, and service gaps were emerging in fast-growing areas. The County engaged vendor MGT to conduct a planning study and build a long-term roadmap to address these facility and service needs.

MGT implemented a solution by first conducting extensive demographic analysis and community engagement. This led to the development of a tiered countywide model with recommendations for regional, community, and micro senior centers to match specific community needs. The results provided Frederick County with a clear framework for future investments, which was immediately put into action with plans for a new purpose-built facility in Brunswick. MGT's work gave the County a data-driven and community-informed strategy to evolve its senior center system for the next decade and beyond.
