Seniors for Peace
The Seniors For Peace Club will meet today, April 6, at 2 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. The theme for the meeting will be “Aging in Place.”
Social workers from various social service agencies, including the Council on Aging, Pathways, the Alzheimer’s Association and possibly others, will talk about the services their organizations can provide seniors. The services of all these organizations are available to all LW residents. Brenda Thomason of the GAF’s Mobility Aids Service will coordinate the program.
The thrust of the concept of Aging in Place is focused on the changing needs of seniors over time as they age and raising awareness of the many services available to help seniors stay in their own homes and thrive.
Many people are reluctant to reach out for help for fear it might cause some loss of independence, but the goal of social services is to preserve independence and privacy. No one should be experiencing food scarcity, suffering through loss alone or feeling shame at asking for help. The aim of this program is to better inform all shareholders of the many options that are available.
Light refreshments will be served.
All LW residents and their guests are invited to attend. For more information, call Pat Kruger at 562-357-4040.
