Survey input needed from seniors and those caring for aging loved ones

The Northeast Colorado Senior Access Points project wants to know how people find resources for seniors and resources to assist in caring for an aging loved one.  

In the beginning phase of the project, organizers are gathering input from seniors, professionals working with seniors, family/friends who are caring for seniors, etc.  They need more input from people in all corners of the region because accessing senior activities and services looks very different for people in different communities.

People are asked to take a few minutes to complete a survey. The feedback will help build a regionwide outreach effort to connect northeast Colorado residents to local aging-related resources.  More input is needed from Sedgwick, Phillips, Yuma, Washington, Kit Carson, Logan and Morgan counties!

The project is a collaboration between Colorado State University Northeast Regional Engagement Center, CSU Extension, the Logan County Heritage Center, and CSU Department of Human Development and Family Studies.

To complete the survey online, go to colostate.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bykVOUvflbMjs6p.

The next steps will be analyzing the needs and available resources for northeast Colorado and statewide resources.  Then, project organizers will begin designing and building a website to serve as a one-stop resource for all things involving seniors in northeast Colorado.
