Update on effort to allow seniors to stay in their homes About 15 residents from Mount Holly, Shrewsbury and Wallingford continue to meet weekly taking the initial steps that we hope will lead to a structured approach to supporting those who want to stay in their own homes as they age. We had hoped to include a survey in the March issues of our local papers, but it won't be ready. It will, however, be available at the polls in March, as well as Town and Informational Meetings, Post Offices, local stores, and other public places. This anonymous survey will ask what you need or think that you will need. One over-arching question asks, "what three things do you worry about the most as you think about staying in your home as you get older?" This initial survey is about needs only. It will be followed by one seeking volunteers to provide services once we know what services are needed! We hope your responses will provide much needed direction as we develop plans. We'll provide drop boxes at each location. There will also be an on-line version. We'd love to get wide participation. Many people have already come forward offering to help. We are keeping a roster of names. It's possible that we may need a few folks to help compiling the results of the survey(s) or be a short-term participant on a subcommittee that is working on a specific project. We really cannot say exactly what we'll need yet. If you think that you would like to be involved and haven't already responded, please let one of us know. Please send your name and email address, if you live in: Mount Holly: to Kathy Leber kleber@vermontel.net Shrewsbury: to Linda Fontana lafhaha_2000@yahoo.com Wallingford: to Sandy Eddy seddy@vermontel.net
