| ONCE AGAIN INFORMATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL |
| FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER .WE SHARE A COMMON EXPERIENCE |
The Lambton Seniors Association (LSA) was formed, in 1990. A survey completed by seniors had uncovered areas of special concern - health issues, loneliness, transportation and housing needs. The LSA then set out to address these concerns.
At the 2005 Annual General Meeting one of the concerns SHELTER - was given a closer look. As we grow older and children move on to homes of their own, family homes often become too big. Upkeep of these houses can become a burden that we find hard to continue on our own. It occurs to many that we should consider a smaller, simpler home - perhaps not an independent "family" home at all. Perhaps we should move, but to what type of dwelling should we move, and when?
Four experts were invited to share their experience. One, Shari Core,
considered how to study a home to uncover flaws that might be remedied
thus making it safer. Barry Thompson reported on the help that could be
given by the LSA's Handyman/Handywoman volunteers. Tracy Hext, of the
Community Care Access Centre spends her days matching people with
suitable services and affordable housing for their future. Lola Dudley,
of the County of Lambton Housing Services Department is aware of the
wide range of geared-to-income, or other housing available throughout
the County. These accommodations extend the options available to seniors
and others.
Separate articles in this issue of The Cardinal report the information
given by each of these four speakers. You are invited to contact the
speakers themselves, especially as time passes and circumstances change.
Now we invite you to consider the question of the day: "Must I Move?"
