Adults age 60+ invited to provide input on local services
RBC | The Aging Services Coalition of Northwest Colorado is seeking input from adults 60 and over, and their caregivers, through a survey available throughout March. The coalition, consisting of organizations serving older adults and individual community members, was created in 2020 to implement strategies to resolve gaps in and barriers to services needed to allow older adults to live safely and with dignity in our communities. Covering Grand, Jackson, Moffat, Rio Blanco and Routt counties, the survey focuses on four areas: transportation, communication, social engagement and housing. Responses will inform local leaders on the desires and needs of older adults in our community. Respondents have the opportunity to win one of several $25 Visa gift cards by completing the survey before the March 31, 2021, deadline. The survey is available in English and Spanish at northwestcoloradohealth.org/survey. For more information, contact Leigh Hull, Aging Services Coordinator, at [email protected].
