An elder forum held in Wilmington last month brought 25 interested people together to brainstorm about services and resources that attendees identified as important to the quality of their lives as they age. The notion that people need to mobilize themselves now to create an affordable option to remain in our community as we age was evident to all who attended.
Very little is available right now, and so have an opportunity to create a vibrant and engaged community that can make it possible for you to age in place. Isn't it time to have a plan or at least have a conversation?
By having a dialogue now, we can put plans in place so we are better prepared should a crisis occur.
So please help me consider ways that your Deerfield Valley town can create a “livable community” that looks at options now to make it possible for you to remain in your community when challenges occur.
