As an older retired adult having to relate <br /> and handle issues of care and support for parents, relatives and friends I recognize the various <br /> we have great services in the county but there are areas where improvements and adjustments <br /> might be needed. But to make suggestions I feel one must serve and observe before being <br /> critical of current policies and recommending changes. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I want to serve on the Aging Advisory board because I want to continue to serve my county and <br /> support the particular needs of Seniors of the county in the area of Social support, nutrition, <br /> elder care (in home and Day care), safe and decent housing (single family and group), and <br /> health care. Our Senior population continues to grow and so do their needs. As a Senior citizen <br /> myself and working with aging family members and members of the community I recognize the <br /> need for support in these AREAS. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> Supplemental Questions: <br />
