Outreach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our team has been contacting many survivors, small groups, and community organizations, across the country to get a sense of the needs of our seniors\u2019 populations.\u00a0 We have learned that there are a number of active survivors involved in wellness activities run by sub-groups of community organizations.\u00a0 We have also learned there are a large number of frail survivors trying to live safely who are supported\u00a0 by family and friends for the activities of daily living. Some of these seniors have no supports. This group is largely underserved and there is a need for more community supports and health care services for these frail seniors.<\/p>\n
